FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

It's Your (My) Choice

Advice from "Abraham" doesn't always make sense when it comes to dealing with Alzheimer's Disease. In this case, I think one can attempt to apply the concept. When some activity, interaction, communication, etc goes awry (and I use the word awry alot in my writing) I will try to conscientiously reach for a happier memory or thing I am grateful for today. Maybe that will work. When Gregory forgets how to make the bed, I will think, "At least he knows that bed is where we go to sleep." I'll let you know how this works. When he is fumbling with his fork, I will think, "He is enjoying the food I made for dinner tonight." (He does compliment me about our meals!)
