Granny, I'm sorry you had to go through this also. It is a very sad way to go. I'm lucky that she still recognizes me, so that is a blessing. She may not always know my name, but you can tell she recognizes my face. It's not easy to watch them fade away mentally and physically.

You're so right.... it is a big blessing that you can see in her eyes that she recognizes you....my poor father in law didn't know anyone...so sad...

So sorry, Kelly and Granny368. Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease. So painful to the entire family and friends.


I stopped by to check if there were pictures of the moon, from Mary.

We're getting rain, this afternoon big clouds came in and really cooled us off, but we can't see the beautiful moom...

Today was a day of mixed emotions. It is my grandmother's 90th Birthday today. The whole family went to lunch with her, which was nice. I just wish she would be able to remember it.

She has been battling Parkinson's Disease and Dementia for several years now, and is in a memory care facility. She is a lost soul these days, with very few glimpses of her old self.

It is very rough on the family.

One of my grandmothers gradually lost her memories, slowly going back in time. By the time she died at 94 she was very withdrawn - but when she saw me she would give me her old sweet smile. Sorry Kelly.

My Grandma on my Mom's side lost the ability to make short term memories. Her problem was mini strokes though. No one has had alzheimers yet.

Short term memory loss is odd though.

This is what my grandmother is doing. She is re living 40 years ago, and thinks she's on a train traveling. At least she thinks she's having a good time. I'm told they either choose a really happy time to re live, or they choose an unhappy time to re live and they get violent. I'm thankful she has chosen the happy times.

Amen!

Got a few pics of the eclipse, not fancy like some of the ones I'm seeing on FB but I enjoyed doing it! My camera couldn't capture the dark/red phase, just gave me a black picture. If I knew what I was doing with manual settings maybe it could have, who knows. But my kids had school today so I wouldn't let them stay up to see it eclipsed and promised them I would try to show them pictures!

Really, I have had short term memory loss for several years, it seems to get progressively worse. My brother & sister, not so much. I have learned about "statin brain" which is a side affect and it may be from that. Lately, I also saw research that another of my meds can cause "Osteoporosis," . I've been doing all I can ,I have osteopenia, trying to keep it from getter worse.

Statins can also raise blood sugar, which is something I have had for years, probably back from when I started Lipitor. With meds you just trade one problem for another.
