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.

GiGi


"J" sits at Gregory's table. She is in her 80's, newly arrived at Lieberman from a "home" in Florida. Met her son "H" and his lover "R." That evening, the dining room at Lieberman felt like a Gay Disco. You have heard me call it, at times, a Fellini movie without the background music. Thus the Gay Disco comparison. Lights flashing, people screaming out, bodies writhing ... and so many Gays in one place!

"J" has a "baby" who she calls GiGi, who she tries to feed, to whom she coos, and comments on how cute, how cute. Gregory has a Teddy Bear he likes to hold. In his case I think it is more having something to do with his hands than thinking he has reverted to motherhood once more. But in this situation, whatever keeps you happy!
