Living With Alzhiemer's

Missing image

 

As each day dawns, our journey continues and let us celebrate this day the Lord has made. 

 

 Blow KissLove as if each day is your last.

 

Our Journey began five years ago and after a brief period of wanting to do everything possible to stay the progression of the disease, each morning began with the same question.  Am I dying today? I have to die soon don't I? Any comfort measures that could be done to balance his energy fields and keep a positive energy flow was met with a progression of the disease and an increase in loss of physical and mental function.  He has a deep seeded unconscious belief that he has to suffer before he dies so that he will go to heaven. tbc

    Awww. My grandpa had Alzhiemer's, he did the scariest most outrageous things. He tried to escape from home, jump through things, he thought my grandma was keeping him captive or something.
    He died like two years later, from cancer that is. And one night when I was awake, I felt something tap my shoulder and nothing was there. The next day my dad came home and told me my grandpa died. I assumed it was my guardian angel who tapped my shoulder that night.


    I pray,
    AJ.

    I applaud you both for having the courage to face each day as they come. I, too, have touched this disease. My husband was diagnosed about the samr time as yours. Although his was a little more advanced by the time we found out, it has been a difficult path. His memory has failed considerably these past couple of years, yet each day we awake with hope that God will see us through. My prayers to you both and thank you for writing about this dibilitating disease.

    It would seem our house has been moved 20 miles down the road.  Richard says the rooms are the same but the outside has changed.  He usually doesn't talk about moving until the weekend.  He has been very confused this afternoon.  I hope he is not getting an infection.  It is supposed

    I picked up the phone to call Mom tonight.  It is hard to realize that she is really physically gone. I know her spirit surrounds me.  Yesterday while I was at her house helping to clean up for Blake, Richard and Teena were here.  Richard was in his recliner and he heard the front door open.  H

    It has been a difficult journey to watch a strong and robust man who could do anything and worked until he was 74 become more and more feeble.  I took him to the doctor for diagnosis after he kept forgetting where we lived and went outside to void off the deck one night.  He couldn't find the bathroom.
