That disease is a terrible one......Most definitely.
6 of my 9 days off were spent with my MIL with Alzheimer’s. Here is an example of the mental stress that is. Yesterday morning between 7:45-8:45, I was asked 15 times about how my parents are doing, if they are traveling, about my siblings, about my kids and the ages of my grandkids. Each. 15 TIMES EACH. I kept a tally. That is in addition to 3 times about my grandmother who died in 2010 and twice about my wife’s niece and her family.
Any problems can be worked out. Spend as much time with her as you can. TIME FLYS BY.My mom did make me realize this last weekend that it doesn't matter how old you get mom's will be mom's. lol
I didn't find it really a problem, just funny. She decided I needed new clothes, that mine were to big or holy and then any time I picked up a shirt she held it up to my chest and would then announce yup it will fit. I love that woman to death but I guess she thinks after all these years of dressing myself I still can't. lolAny problems can be worked out. Spend as much time with her as you can. TIME FLYS BY.
You should have said something. I could have fixed you up with a couple more!Retirement was peaceful and I enjoyed sleeping in any time I wanted.
THEN we got a puppy!
You do know Monday is the perfect day to water-board the boss, didn't you?
That sounds like a great idea!!You do know Monday is the perfect day to water-board the boss, didn't you?
My great Aunt who served in WW2 ended up with Alzheimer's; she went from being this crazy self-assured woman who loved telling stories to not knowing who we were or where she was. They had to put her in a home for Alzheimer's patients because she kept calling the cops on her daughter, saying the kid napped her....Alzheimer's Disease is hard on the person that is afflicted with it, but it is almost as equally hard on the family and friends.
I have lost several family members to Alzheimer's, including my grandmother in 2009.
The saddest part, and the hardest, is watching someone turn into someone that you don't recognize anymore, and that they can't remember who you are anymore.
Unlike cancer, if detected early enough, it's survival rate has gotten way better, there are no drugs or cures for Alzheimer's Disease yet.
