My sister-in-law forwarded me
this blog and I cannot seem to get enough of it. I started at the most current post and have worked my way backwards. I read it when I'm stopped at red lights, or when I'm waiting in line at a drive-thru, or when I go to bed at night. I don't know the author's name yet, but I know her husband is Bo and he's the one that is suffering with Alzheimer's.
- He forgets words, like what "water" is...
- He makes up words that she doesn't even know what they mean...
- He repeats himself over and over all day long....
- They've been married 51 years yet she's so lonely...
What has caused this and how can we stop it? I don't want my loved one to go through this. I don't want anyone to have to go through this... Why are their memories being robbed?
From everything I'm reading, it is going to take a lot of patience and love to get through this. I do not believe one person can handle the bulk. It is a labor of love that must be shared amongst family members.
