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.

Update

RG,
Hi. Greg continues to settle in. I go every day to visit but only for an hour or two. I am hard at work learning my new role as secondary caregiver. They are getting to know him and how to provide for him. He is content and "spends his day." To be with him is to realize that he is a very different man than he was before the psychotic episode. He is really living in the moment and is happy with that. Today we visited with his companion Alaksh and G was happy to see him. We set up a desk for him, stocked his mini-refrigerator, assembled two lovely lamps - one for the desk and a matching one on his night stand. I am creating a refuge for him but mostly for me and his visitors away from the Fellini environment that is any nursing care center. Day by day...
Fondly,
Michael
