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"

Bob has a very nice heavy winter coat. It has two different zippers, one for the inner closure and the main one that closes the front of the coat. (we live in the frozen tundra you know) anyway, the zippers are two different sizes as well. "Al" managed to hook and zip one half of each zipper half way together. Sheri guesses those big strong hands of "Al"s had to work long and hard to get that unmatched zipper pulled half way up Bob's chest because when Sheri got him home the only way she  could get "Al" out of Bob's coat was to wiggle his arms out of the sleeves one at a time and slide the coat down and have 6 foot 4 step out of his coat.
Oh vey...
