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 in the shadow of Alzheimers

One more day. Sheri knows every day is a blessing, but she will be really glad when 2018 comes to close.
Sheri needs to Pause, Praise and Pray.

Living with Bob and "Al"

"Al" is frustrated that Bob put the nuts on the bolts so tight that even with a pair of pliers he could not loosen them. Bob recommended to "Al" to use a second set of pliers  (one to get a grip on the bolt and one to turn the nut) and Sheri hesitantly complied. What happens when you give the "boys" each their own set of pliers... a fight to the death :)
Heavy sigh.

Living with Bob and "Al"

Bob is not too keen on riding the Metro Mobility bus home from "work" code for Adult Day Center. Sheri can see the change in routine has "Al" on edge . Sheri is struggling slightly with the lack of dependability of arrival and departure times of the buses as well. She hopes it will get better.
Sheri just needs to pause, praise and pray.

Living with Bob and "Al"

"Al" is sure the cat has been eating Bob's beads because he feels like so many of them are missing. Sheri is "sure" it is the cat putting all of those all those beads in Bob's shirt and pants pocket too, so "Al" can show them off at work, now that is team work :)
