This blog almost put me into tears. I have worked in several nursing homes, and have seen first hand what Alzheimers can do to the victim, as well as the family. I have a friend, here in Stockport, Ohio, who's mother has Alzheimer's, and it is very sad to see her mental status diminishing. I think my friend is in denial, and insists on taking her to activities that she always went to, before her disease. I keep explaining to him, that she is older now, and with this disease, she needs more care than she did before. She hides money and other items in pillow cases, closets, shoes, and drawers, and then forgets that she puts them there. He is becoming very frustrated. I would like to print this for him to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8425833.post-3082984109640657392009-11-27T05:32:17.733-09:002009-11-27T05:32:17.733-09:00June, I knew you had Alzheimers in your family but...June, I knew you had Alzheimers in your family but we've never really talked about it. This sounds SO much like what my father went thru before he died. They never "named" his dementia but thanks to your story now I know. Thanks for sharing. I know how hard this was to live through and to put it into writing and live it again.
