Alzheimers is a nasty thing to deal with. My Grandparents have been dealing with this and over the past year really bad for my Grandmother. Time with her can bring the conversation to so many crazy and wonderful points in time from her life. Nice of you to help the woman out, sure it really put her husband's mind at ease.

Ive never delt with it full blown, but soon may find myself. My boyfriend's mother has early onset of it and has been diagnosed. We plan on moving to Arizona hopefully in the next year or two to be closer to her while she is in fair state of mind. I worry so much for him and what the stress will do to him .
When the day comes if you ever need someone to chat with let me know. Been dealing with it hands on for over a year now and I'm the closest one to my Grandparents so I get many of the crazy calls. There was no slow progression with my Grandmother as it was caused by medical issues and an idiot for a doctor. So we kind of got tossed to the wolves as they say with it. Went from a very sharp minded person to one that thought she was back in her childhood home almost overnight. Was very sad to see and hard to deal with. But think we have it more or less figured out now and while it sucks knowing she will forget our visit within hours many times it's still nice to spend the time with her.
Thank u so much! That means so much, i just might have some questions to ask of u later.
