Our continuing dementia journey-
The changes are gradual... and incremental.
Short-term memory is slowly failing.
Anger bordering on rage presents itself frequently.
I have to remember NOT to react to it.
She cannot help it.
I can. And I don't need to react in kind.
I must remember to insure she stays "on her feed".
Aricept is a miracle Drug.
I'm still praying for a cure.

I remember those days and the struggles on both our parts associated with it. It's hard. And yes Aricept helped. You both are in my prayers. Have a friend who is at about stage 7 now. I did get him in a clinical trial in Nashville but he didn't qualify. Never could find out why.
I'm Praying for you. Such an insidious disease. Illness and death already rob us of our dignity. To suffer that without identity or knowing that you have support and love from your closest people at the end is so very sad.
So upsetting and the end for all of us one way or the other. I hope it goes well for you both. Also hope the storm didn't hit your area.
Life isn't fair. Outside my door is a placard reading, "Don't count the days, make the days count". Isn't that all we can do?
You are both in my prayers
Prayers are all I can offer.
Prayers are all that is necessary, Navy.
They're what got us this far... good med advice... good drugs... and an optimistic attitude.
To all commenters- we feel your good vibes. THANK YOU.
What this election showed is that the Democrats are SO horrible at selecting candidates like Fetterman and that the democrats will vote for anyone as long as it is a democrat, even if it’s Fetterman... Just like what happened when Biden picked Kamala Harris. .
But it also means that they have to deal with the consequences of having an INCOMPETENT administration that is only interested in their Socialist agenda and Americans be Damned.
