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"

Sheri has a "bucket" list, she knows for most people the "bucket list" is things a person wants to do before they die. For Sheri as a caregiver it is a list of things to she needs to do "to survive". She is sure other caregivers feel this way too, it is so hard to get their own needs (and I mean needs) taken care of. Daughter number one (the one who wears her heart on her sleeve) stayed with Bob and "Al", Sheri found an office that takes evening appointments and she got herself back to the dentist. Not exactly her favorite thing to do. So Sheri gets to cross one of her bucket list. Oh yeah, making progress.
