I am a mother, grandmother and now a caregiver which is my biggest job yet.
I was ill prepared for this. I am not the "nursing type". So guess what?
You learn pretty quickly.
Posting this blog mostly for anyone interested in the disease or could perhaps get
some help from my experience and visa versa.
We are ten years since the diagnosis.
Husband, Bob, has been and still is the love of my life. He is a rare peach of a man.
Has a great soul and love in his heart.
At this point he walks our Maltese dog, Toto , around the block.
Dries the dishes and sits in his chair falling asleep most of the day.
Refuses to lie down and be comfortable.
There are days that he knows us , the children and myself but he does forget
our names.
Sometimes making a sentence is impossible for him.
I work part time and I can still leave him alone for 3 or 4 hours but this too
will come to an end soon. I think in a few months I will have to give up my job.
I am an auditor and keeping busy with the figures for these hours is a blessing.
All other reality leaves as I count the money in the store.
I am 75 ! going on to 76 in a few months.
That is it for a beginning on my blog

Very neat idea. I can also keep up with how dad is doing. Love ya!
Diddo, I think this is a good way to keep tabs on you're doin' and for you to maybe hear from other people in a similar situation. It's probably a good way for you to be journal - just read over what you write to make sure it's not too sensitive (I do the same with my blog).
Alright - much love!
Jim
