Not liking that. Hugs to both of you. My Mom has it, Aunt died of it.

Thanks. We've been dealing with it for a while now. I think we're doing as best as can be expected.
He is coping well. We had a bump last month when his driver's license was revoked. That changes things for me as I now try not to run errands on the way home nearly as much as I used to. I go home, take care of chores then we go back out together. If I were in his shoes I'd want to get out of the house so I do that as much as I can for him.

You play the best hand you can with the cards you're dealt. We still laugh and have fun. We joke about his memory loss and all the other rotten symptoms of this disease. What else can you do?

Humor can get you over lots of hurdles that's for sure. You sum it up best with this "You play the best hand you can with the cards you're dealt".

One night he was all pissy pants with me. I let it slide until we sat down for dinner then asked, "So what's you're problem? Why are you mad at me?"

He looked me right in the eye and said, "I don't know. I can't remember!" We both cracked up laughing and that was the end of that.

Just hold him as close as you can for as long as you can,sweetie.

Thank you. My goal is to make him laugh at least once a day.

This is an awful disease and I hope they find a cure or a way to prevent it. So the clinical trials of new drugs can only be a good thing when you have a terminal disease like this. I read a lot a cool information on the COR388 and am hopeful it will help him and others.

Does he suffer with gingivitis? They say that is a big factor in plaque formation. And that relates to the cause of Alzheimer's.

My father had dementia - back then they said they couldn't tell if it was Alzheimer's without observing his brain after death. That didn't happen. He did have many hits to his head during his life of very careless activities. He had a very bad temper but,the more the disease robbed him of his memory, the nicer he got to us.

He didn't remember mom, he thought his son was his brother, he didn't know me at all so very nice kind. When he saw my son - he thought that was a brother of his also.

Good morning Cafe.
Coffee is on the stove.
Above freezing overnight and the sun climbing over the ridge.

 

[drumstick diva]

Morning Shad, WOW you get SUN. Are you sure it's not a hallucination? I slept through yesterday (I think) bruised ribs annoying me and I don't know why. Maybe I laid on them funny

 

[drumstick diva]

Hope you have a good day

If I have gingivitis, my dentist apparently hasn't noticed. I haven't seen him since last May. My dental insurance renews May 1st. A couple days later my dentist decided i Needed some major(read as expensive)a partial. First he wanted to include 8 teeth and said it was a bargain and I would save quite a bit of money. Said never mind I'll just pay for dentures and won't have to come back. I wasn't bluffing.

I told him I wouldn't save a dime since I didn't have the $$$. So he decided he could live with a 4 tooth partial. That way it just used up my whole year dental benefits.

Everyone knows dentist got divorced and has been padding the bills to pay for it. But he's the closest one to me (5 miles round trip) so I could walk there if need be. Can't depend on our erratic bus service.
