Sheri has been trying hard to clean out the remaining clutter of her life. She was going through three bookcases filled with books hoping to donate some and scale back to at least 2 bookcases full ( my version of scaling back:) She came across a 90 day bible study that she and Bob did in 2011 right before they lost their house to what Sheri calls "Alzheimer foreclosure." Sheri and Bob would sit outside on the swing in her garden each evening and do a chapter together. They had learned to use a highlighter to remember which parts they thought were important. When Sheri picked up the book and opened it yesterday, she laughed as she remembered that in 2011 Bob must have really been very impressed with this bible study because "Al" had highlighted 37 CONSECUTIVE PAGES worth of sentences :)
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.
