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.

Documentary Birthday Day 5

This footage was taken by the documentary crew at Lieberman as we celebrated with Gregory my 70th birthday. This interaction with Gregory is what I call one of our "Monumental Momentary Miracles." 

Sorry to say that Gregory has a bad cold and cough so he looks pretty out of it! You can hear the hoarseness in his voice. 

When he is tired or ill, his back posture and neck seem to give way. But as difficult as this may be to watch, I love being able to see it again on demand.

    Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with all. I know how difficult it was for me to even talk about my mother's declining days with Alzheimer's. Charmaine

      Thanks Charmaine. Being open about Alzheimer's in this day and age is easier I think as it becomes more and more understood and experienced. Gregory and I have always been open about who we are and about Alzheimer's. Thanks for the kind words.
