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 been thinking about how grateful she is for Bob's"work" (code for a Adult Day Center) When she realizes Bob has been "working" there (wink, wink) since 2011, she is so grateful for the attention and care they give Bob and "Al". It allows Sheri to work and support her family, but it also has allowed her to keep Bob and "Al" home with her and out of a nursing home for as long as possible. The stability it provides for Bob even when other things in Sheri's life are in a tale spin, such as the recent death of her Mother, the trip to Texas with a broken foot, "Al's" routine stayed stable. She is blessed in deed to have these services.
 Thank you Open Circle for all you do for me and "the boys".  :)
