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 was extremely disappointed with his "crew" at work yesterday (code for Adult Day Center). When they got out of the car at home, "Al" stood there with his thumb in Bob's belt loop stretching out his back in his usual way pointing to all the road construction and said " I really could not get much cooperation today finishing up this road work." Sheri chuckled to herself as she pictured the sweet little lady with the freshly done hairdo sitting by the door with her walker at the Day Center waiting for her ride, and thought to herself, that's because it was "hair" day Bob, don't ever ask a lady to do road work on "hair" day :)

    LOL-- Never, ever, on hair day.. Thanks for the giggle.. I love how Bob still has such a sense of his "work". He must have been a very dedicated employee and boss in his day. Bless You. I think of you daily.
