This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Living with Bob and "Al"

Conversation is probably the thing Sheri misses the most. Sheri thinks she probably always did most of the talking, but Bob was interactive in his own way. Yesterday on the way home Sheri tried again to have a conversation. It was pouring down rain and Sheri said "Wow, it is really raining hard." Bob looking around and said " there is a loose gravel sign, I have been looking at the blue prints, do I have choir?" Sheri knows she should be grateful he can still speak at all, but she is human and where he is today still hurts.
Conversation... just missing true conversation.
