I'm mulling over the comments many of you have provided and reflecting on the impact that Tom and Julie (my last blog), Duane and Betty, Roy and Marty, Mel and Linda, Mike and Gail, Terri, Susan, Bernie and so many others have had on me over the years.
I realize, as I know most of you do as well, that we cope with a disease like Alzheimer's not so much by what modern medicine can give us, but by what we give and receive from one another. This blog is a vehicle for each of us to give and receive.
I've been reading another blog recently by a woman whose husband has Lewy body dementia. Her eloquent writing portrays an authentic candor that most of us can appreciate. She's from Minneapolis and goes by the name IslandGirl. In one blog posting, she wrote about courage. Her beautifully crafted words are worth repeating:
"Courage is going forward into a place where you cannot see the destination, putting one foot in front of the other while pulling a 1400 pound sled. Isn't that what we do daily with our loved ones? We don't know what the day will be like when we rise in the morning. We've lost our own futures — if that isn't a 1,400 pound sled we're pulling, I don't know what is. And yet, we do it. One step at a time, one foot in front of the other. We whine a little bit (or a lot) along the way. We seek companionship from others who know our plight. But we get out of bed, and sometimes, that is the biggest act of courage for a caregiver.
"And having others to help you pull that sled? That's God's gift."
She also writes about how her blog has helped her:
"These blogs have been my way of thinking through what is going on. They help me focus so I know what to ask for in strength and courage and wisdom. Some would say it's prayer, some would say it's meditation, some would say it's just the brain sorting things out. The odd thing is, I've never been a person to journal. Why is this so much easier?
"One thing that is clear though. Whatever you call this, and I'm calling it prayer on the keyboard, the answers come. They change sometimes from day to day, hour to hour, but the answers do come. One just has to sit still and listen for them."
Hopefully, many of you find healing as well by contributing your words to this blog.

I watch both maternal grandparents struggle with dementia/Alzheimer's! My stepfather died w/in a month of healthy living last march 2012! My mother is already in stages of dementia & on strongest meds for a few years! I love her dearly but fear for myself how fast this disease takes over your life! Is there a cure that I can even hope for in my life or my children's?
My name is Jan and I really need this blog support right now. That's a good first step right, recognizing that I need others to better understand this disease. My epiphany today was that, omg, I am thinking of myself as her housemate (which was the original agreement) and she thinks of me as someone who eats the groceries, takes too long to go shopping and uses too much water to brush teeth, take a shower or do the dishes. Things have really deteriorated fast - it has been 10 months since she invited to stay with her because she really did not like living alone. I had on rose-colored glasses and saw it as God's grace that I could help her out to somehow repay her for all her help to my family. Now I just want to curl up on my bed, or run away home..........But today is a new beginning - I will look for some local agency and start journaling again. and I will look for information to help me understand her dementia and the best way to react to her mean crabby behaviors.
I find writing the best form of therapy in the world, and as a person with dementia, use my blog http://kateswaffer.com as my memory bank. It has opened up a vibrant channel of communication and memories with my family and friends, and offered support through the global dementia community. Thank you.
My previous post was incorrect. I visited my mom 4 times in 8 days. I said 12 days. Feeling like I want to visit because I go by the building often. I would go there every day but until she has stopped being upset about being there I feel it is best to visit less often. What does anyone else think about visitation in the early time after admission to a facility?
My mother entered a Memory Care Unit 10 days ago. I have visited 4 times within 12 days. We did not visit the first 48 hours per staff request to let her "settle in" I live very close and only work part time so i could go every day. Her husband, my step-father goes every other day. I am struggling with how often to visit her. She wants to leave with me and keeps asking why she is there and how long she has to stay. We don't know what to say to her when she talkes about those things. The staff tells us she is making a good adjustment. It is fortunate that she is able to express her feelings to me when I visit. I don't want to make things harder for her by visiting too much. How do I decide an appropriate visitation plan?
I write a blog about my husbands Alzheimer's as well. It is called "Living in the shadow of Alzheimer's". It is really my only way of dealing with it. I know how islandgirl feels. Blogs are a great outlet for the thinks we feel. Stop by and take a look at www.sherizeee.blogspot.com
thank you island girl. it kinda eases the guilt when you read others feel the same way or have similiar emotions about being a caregiver to a loved one with alzheimers. how do you get others to help pull the sled thru the snow? They seem to be in denial. our family knows i need help with mom. one family member helps out one day a week. where are her church friends? our own family? My prayer for myself is not becoming bitter. How can i prevent that?
I know for sure that my husband's early onset alzheimer's is the result of chemo therapy he received after discovering colon cancer in 2000. Rather than disappearing it compounded in the following years and is slow progressing. Has anyone had this experience after receiving 5FU and Leukovorin?
I have been following this blog for some months now, and really find it helpful. I have been my husband's caregiver for about 7 years now, since he was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's-type dementia. (There are still divergent opinions on this.) Having read IslandGirl's blog (which I found very moving), I decided to start a blog myself. I have never blogged before, but really feel this will be a useful tool for me. I think my husband is going through another period of deterioration, and it is signaling more changes for us. We looked after my mother-in-law for many years as she journeyed through dementia, and this is what my husband sees as his future.
How do you distinguish between it being him or the disease? He was so much like this before he was diagnosed but now so much worse. Sometimes I just don't think I can do this anymore. I do not feel love anymore, only anguish and sadness that our lives have come to this.
I have been a caregiver for four and a half years. My mother-in-law was once a great mother-in-law but now she is stubborn, argumentative and calls me a b@#$% on a regular basis. She sees things that make her fearful in spite of medication and longs for her mother and siblings. I am on antidepressants and my once happy marriage is on the brink of divorce because of my husband's lack of understanding for his own mother. I am trapped in our family room/kitchen area. My husband and I cannot leave the house together. I cannot hold a job outside the home. My mother-in-law is 97 and asks me what has happened to her. She says that this is no way to live and asks me what she is still doing here. Other than caring for her kindly, making sure that she has human touch, being respectful, and speaking with her even when she doesn't make sense, I feel that the best thing that I can do for her is to pray that she finds peace in death. There you have it. The unvarnished truth. Although I am loving and kind to her I HAAATE having to do this! One thing that I do for her that she really likes is based on 'The Notebook'. I sit by her bed at night until she falls asleep and tell her the story of her life. She especially likes the story of herself as a young girl. She is amazed and asks me how I know all this. I'm so glad that I was listening and making mental notes when she was still lucid and was telling me her history. Now, back to care giving and waiting for it to end!
I read over my prior blog and it seemed almost selfish. I sure don' mean to be. The little weekend trip did a world of good for myself, but not so much for my husband. He thought that I was not coming back and did not remember the phone call from me. I noticed a very hugh change in him in the last two weeks. He is not remembering almost everything in the past, he fibs to me now,. Won't take a shower. He has been telling me he has been brushing his teeth, he does dress himself, I shave him, but give him the privacy he wants in the bathroom. I checked his toothbrush to see if it was wet yesterday after he said he brushed them, and not wet at all. I looked at his teeth and he hasn't been brushing them all along. He said he switched his unterware, but I found he has been taking out clean ones and putting them in the wash. Just saying, I guess, that I have my head in the sand. I did not realize just how bad things really are. Now I know and can help him more, although it is very hard to get him to do things for me. He puts up quite a front when people come,. One may think that he is ok and just a bit distant, but when they leave, he tells me he did not understand nor can remember a thing they said, In two hours, he doesn't remember they have been there and will stay in beda whole day because it tired him out trying to pretend there is nothing wrong. He is aware alot that he can't remember and it upsets him greatly. He does not enjoy anything in his life now.dwMd
to islandgirl....your words have touched me so and launched me to respond and thank you, and all the others, who have shared their thoughts and feelings about the important and daunting task of caregiving. My 59 year old husband has been diagnosed with Progressive Super Nuclear Palsy. Originally misdiagnosed as Parkinsons but when PSP finally chosen some relief in that the dementia issues are now explainable. After over 34 years together and many "battles" over the years this one is by far our toughest! He battles what his brain is doing or not doing for him...and I battle everything else!! plus I grieve for the "us" that isn't anymore and for the loneliness linked w/ responsibilty that is my life these days! The lack of predictabilty and normalcy in every day stuff adds to our struggles. Family and friends try to be helpful and respite workers provide guilt free relief but this is the most difficult thing I have ever had to do in my life. I am on my knees praying for wisdom,patience and love.
To Louise's entry on April 9: Dear Louise, it's very hard to deal with an adult who has AD, but try to remember -- your mother-in-law cannot help her reactions (like being unthankful toward visitors, as you had mentioned). Try to accept her for who she is now and give her love and understanding. She'll remember some things, but not all things. That's the nature of this disease. It makes the patients very unpredictable, and sometimes very unlikeable. I've been taking care of my mother who has had AD for the past 10 years. After being mad for many years, I finally realized there is no room for being mad. Just understanding and love and a lot of patience - that's what we can offer to one who is suffering from this life and mind-altering disease. Mom and I are fine together - and we have peaceful and happy days together. Best wishes. Kirsten
My wife (age 65) is rapidly showing physical and mental decline that parallels AD. The cause seems to be the intensive chemo she received to control her ALL (following a bout with CML). In two months she has gone from a fully functioning person to one who can barely get around, and is increasingly more confused, with almost no short term memory. Extensive medical testing can't find a reason, although hypothyroidism led to a week long hospital stay in early March. She is losing her appetite, and sleeps excesssively. Karen, in an April blog mentions chemo, and this seems the only reason for this sudden sharp decline. I welcome any input from those going through this life altering change, for both of us. Dave
Heres a different switch on writing. My husband who has AD writes something almost every day and we keep track of his slide that way, and he can see it himself, being a Dr. he is interested in his own decline. It's very interesting and helps me understand him and the disease much better, too.
I am finally coming to grips with this disease. My husband's dementia is the result of chemo therapy he had in 2000 and I always thought it would get better but now I have to admit that it is getting much worse and I have to go on. Though slow progressing, it is nonetheless Alzheimer's. Has anyone else out there had this experience with chemo?
I was quietly (I thought) sobbing in the hospitsl waiting rooom after having been told that my wonderful husband of 33 years was blind after an unsuccessful attempt to repair his detached retina. The devastating news came two years after he lost total sight in his right eye from a bleed in the retina. Disbelief! My beloved husband not being able to see? I then heard a voice say "don't cry, everything will be okay"! I looked up to see a young 20ish Hispanic man trying to calm my fears! He was dressed in khaki shorts, a t-shirt and sandals. A small wooden cross hung from a silver chain around his neck but when I reached to touch his cross he pulled away. After responding to his question of "what happened" he chided me my saying "nobody trusts Jesus anymore". He continually paced back and forth asking more questions about my husband and myself. He told me his name was Cesar and so was his father's and that his father was a minister at a Pentacostal church in the next town. I said "maybe you're a Guardian Angel sent from Heaven"? He smiled and said that he was leaving to go ask his father to pray for us. A moment later I looked for him in the hallway and he was gone! I asked the nurse where the young man went. She hadn't seen anyone! It was at that moment I turned my husband over to God's loving care. I have renewed my faith and my strength to continue on this incredible journey caring for John with his vascular dementia and b
This is for "Phoebe" I understand how you feel with out any smiles and expression. I got a small dog,lap dog that was house broke and he got along with adults very well. My husband of 56 years has Parkinson disease and he had lost his smile for anything. Well, since we have had the dog he reachs for him to pet and the dog is responding back by setting beside him and I will put the dog in his lap for short periods. I have noticed that my husband is smiling a little and when he even looks at him in the floor some time there is that little smile again. The therapist said it is very good for a person ike this to have a small animal they can touch and hold. It has even made me a happier person. When I brush the dog or do anything for him and my husband can see us he has been showing me a smile which just lights up my heart to see him smile again at just a small thing. You might want to try such a thing if you yourself can take care of a small animal, cat or dog.
I love this. It is nice to have a place to go to view and review, things around me, My Mom in law moved in with my husband and I in Feb. We never realized how bad her dementia was. I have to constantly give my self grace because I get so frustrated withe the continual repetion. I laugh because on most days she doesn't really know who I am. On those days she is very kind and considerate, trying to please..the other days are not as good she hasn't really liked me since I married her son some 40+ years ago. But I so want her days to be easy she is over 95+
I have been in this "netherworld" for 30 years now. First with my husband's brain injury (with symptoms mimicking dementia), and then a dx of alzheimers in 2004. His behavior is erratic with much acting out. We're married 46 years and I struggle to remember peace in our lives.
I miss the laughter, I miss having anyone who can joke and bring on sidesplitting therapeutic laughter. I am sole caregiver for my husband of 61 years, marriage always had big highs and low lows. I now suspect that he always had mental problems which no one recognized and we just thought he was moody. Now he is mostly silent which feels like the bad old days so it is more difficult to dismiss as only the disease. Have been walking in these moccassins for over five years. When I could leave for weekends etc. it was much easier to cope. Now I do not leave for more than a few minutes. I have not posted comments before because I just do not have that sweet feeling that most of you feel. Sorry if this is a downer.
I just had a window opened... Since caring for my mom and mom in law with dementia I have not written because every time I try it makes me so darn sad! Then I come across this... it is beautiful to read.... the words have touched my soul! Maybe just maybe in my reading it i will be find the courage to write...
Well, I had a really good CRY last night after watching the Notebook with James Garner and Gena Rowlands! Love lost, love found, and love lost again because of dementia! The song "I'll be Seeing You" is a heartbreaker! As I sit now in the chair near my wonderful husband as he sleeps, I am able to watch TV and use my notepad computer that our wonderful kids gave me for Christmas. This is how I stay connected to friends and family because each day with a husband who has vascular dementia is so unpredictable that phone conversations are not successful. When I read others' blogs, I am beginning to realize that those affected with AD and other dementias and who are fully sighted may provide more difficulty caring for them. As I mentioned in my April 7 blog, John has been totally blind for the last 18 mos as well. He needs to be guided in everything and watched every moment. When his wonderful caregiver goes home, we have our own "happy hour" mine with wine, his with non-alcoholic beer! I try to create some semblance of "normal" for me!! I tell him about our family, our life together and I talk to him as if nothing is wrong. He only hears supportive, loving words from our mouths.
I had a wonderful 90 minute respite. I went to the park and sat in my car and read a church magazine. It was nice to be away from the house and my father. I now understand why we caregivers need time for ourselves. Our futures are on hold for either a short time or awhile. I have been doing this for almost three years and it seems like eternity. Like a prison term. My respite is either church, work or going somewhere. Not much of a life for now because I still have to go home to the situation. I know when my father passes on, I will go through a whole gamut of emotions. Mostly guilt. You know what I'm talking about, the What If's. It's common. It's human nature. But I will also feel relief. Relief that I don't have to do it anymore. Relief that I don't have to see him the way he is. Relief that he will be with my mom and family that have gone before him. Relief and happiness that he will be complete and whole in heaven.
Thank you for making this page possible - I get an immence amount of strength from all the post as each one is going through the same emotions. My mom-in-law has AZ and experienced some great mishaps (falls) the last few months - broke ribs, cracked pelvis, hit her head against a kist - losing balance - all within 2nds away as there is ALWAYS someone with her while we are at work. Never knows whether pain is real or not - have to lock meds/doors - she's agressive at this stage and says were neglecting her - leaves us with guilt-feelings all the way but everytime hospitalized we are there with every visiting hour (and in between) - but seems to be unthankful for everything. She'll be on diapers soon - doesnt want to bath/drink medicine/get up at all. She'll be 87 next week and lived with us for almost 45 yrs - is it wrong to get that "I just want to run" feeling? Exp. many mixed emotions at this stage - I write poems to get it off my chest and now only I see there are many going through the same - I pray for all of you - we have to cary one another in prayer. God Bless - Louise
I have been journaling since my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimers several years ago. He went from "Dementia" to Alzheimers rather quickly & the more I "lost" him the more I felt the need to write down my thoughts & feelings. It hurts so bad to see what has happened to this wonderful husband/father. His whole life was devoted to us! I recently had to move my 92 year old Mother in with us & they get along so great. Our daughter does all my shopping so I can spend 24/7 with my husband & Mom. We are coming up on 50 years together! It was very sad when he got frustrated not being able to remember words or his train of thought. Now even the frustration is gone...it's as if he just doesn't care that he cannot remember. I don't know which is worse, but I think I prefer he not care than feel upset with himself. I am just the hands that the Holy Spirit leads me to do each day. I pray for guidance & patience every single morning before my feet hit the floor. I don't know what I would do without the faith my Mom instilled in my 7 brothers & sisters. It's just "payback" time now for me & I'm pleased to do it.
My Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers 2+ years ago and as I lived far away from where she was - a four hour trip by car it was decided to move Mom closer to where I lived. My Brother lives overseas and I was just too pleased to get Mommy close by. I have nociced that the people who were very bright and intelegent were those that had the disease as I live in a very small tight knit community all the people that know me visit and just past a few minutes daily with whoever is in the care centre here. Mom never got angry or did strange things as she was very strictly brought up and very ladylike, which I think is why she continued to have good manners and behave properly. She seems to know that I will visit every day straight from work I go to the centre and see her make sure that she eats and then change her and put her into bed after taking out clothing for the next day. The nursing staff and care workers are wonderful and I can only say that without these Angels I would never have been able to continue to work. In South Africa where I live the African Women are particularly patient with the old or sickly and for this fact I really have to thank them. I have noticed that Mom does not want to eat which really worried me to begin with then a friend brought to my attention the Loue body disease which I think can go hand in and with Alzheimers. It also helps to have friends who have lost a parent and are willing to stand by you while you go through what you need to.
I have been married to my husband for 14 years, in that time my husband has had spleen,and kidney cancer, stroke, 2 hernias and prostrate cancer. Now Dementia. I miss him, I miss our life together, I miss him taking care of me. Yes, I also feel quilty. I sometimes feel resentful that I have to do everything even as small as turning on the Tv. I have had to take over all aspects of living. From car mechanice, to plumming, to fixing furnace. I am here all alone, I really have no help, his kids only take advantage trying to get money from him if I leave him alone with them. My cousin is picking me up tomorrow for the day to just hang out 50 miles from here while someone stays with him for the 1st time when I can leave. It almost is like planning a prison break. But I can say, that this man deserves all the care and love I can possible give him. He has worked hard and is a good man. I try to keep that in my mind when times get bad emotionaly for me. I think to myself, that this is basicaly the last thing that I can do for him, and the only really true good thing I could do in my intire life here on earth. I pray, that I hold up and do not get sick, as he will be lost if I cannot be good for him. A minister once told me that, showing me the reversise side of a needlepoint swath, "Noting looks like it makes since from this side, all strings look like they have no purpose,,,, But turn it over and you can see that every thread had a purpose to make a beautiful Pictu
I have hesitated to post or even begin a blog of my own because I feel guilty about how I feel about my role as caregiver sometimes. I don't always want people to know. My husband of 10 years has early onset AD. Diagnosed at 57, but the symptoms were obvious well before then. I was just blind to the notion that it might be AD. This morning, almost two years after the diagnosis, after he broke the shower two days ago, he had to use mine. "How do you work this thing," he said, as he got in. "How do I get out of here," he yelled when he finished. I'm getting worn out doing all the thinking and cooking and other stuff necessary to run a household! I am a woman of faith, and I know God will use these circumstances to help us further His kingdom, but I definitely need help from others of you who have traveled this path before me. How do you take care of yourselves?
4/7/11...On 4/5, Joan and I celebrated our 60th Anniversary. This was so different from other years...no private cozy dinner at a candlelit restaurant, no fancy party, as was our 50th, but just a small gathering of our family over the weekend, and a very close, quiet day with Joan on Tuesday. How was it different? Joan is in an intermediate stage of Alzheimer's, plus severe back problems, so she is basically immobilized Those reflections of past years filled me with emotional swings that went from happy, to angry, to an immense sadness..to watch this beautiful, strong, smart woman crumbling before my eyes....the tears rolled...the sobs came...and suddenly...I felt wonderful...because I was HERE, ALIVE, able to take care of her, and we are together. I am profoundly grateful for that.
Reading all these comments have emcouraged me to start a Journal of my own. My husband of 27 yrs. has Alzheimers he was diagnosed around 5 years ago. This past year has gotten really worse and very trying on me. I was diagnosed with breast Cancer 3 years ago and had to have a Mastectomy and treatment. Don't have a whole lot of help so I am the primary caregiver. I'm not complaining, I just need some much needed Respite. Planning a vacation the first of June and leaving Him in the capable hands of his daughter & Sister.; but why do I feel so guilty at times? I Love my husband with all my Heart and Soul and have no intentions of putting him in a home, but if I don't take care of myself I know that I will not be able to keep that promise. I love getting this newsletter and feel so much better when I hear from thos going through this thing. We are together in this and I thank you for your encouraging comments.
In June of this year I will quit my job and takeover the fulltime care of my mom. She is 78 years old today. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2005. The move is going to be a drastic change for her. She has spent a month with me every summer, but this time she will stay. I know this is going to be hard. My mother is very combative, and she has threatened suicide if we try to put her in a home. She has allway's been in charge, and we are trying our best. I honestly don't believe she is ready for a nursing home. I plan to keep her with me as long as I can. BTW, my husband is not being very supportive. But I feel that I have to do this for my MOM! I Love her.
My 89 yr old mother lives in florida. We had always been closes until she started having dementia. She has alienated everyone around her. How can I check on her well being and her house without upsetting her. I have tried eldercare organizations but they do not do anything for the children of the elderly.
What an inspirationn. This was shared with me by a dear friend. My husband has the big "A" and I am a Journaling Caregiver. A great way to say the things your thinking without hurting anyone's feelings. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Susan, I think it is amazing that you care for not just one, but two parents with such dibilitating diseases. My mom is in stage 6 (of 7) of Alzheimers and she lived with me until about a year ago. I work full time and have a supportive husband. We had a wonderful lady who took care of Mom during the day while we were at work. But the strain of caring for her in the evenings and on weekends became too much for me...physically, but even more so emotionally and psychologically. I grew more and more depressed watching her decline day after day, being powerless to do anything about it. I had days where I couldn't stop crying and it was affecting my job. I wouldn't give those days for anything, because I was exactly where God wanted me to be at the time. But, for my own health, I was forced to find a place where Mom could get even better care than what I was able to give her. I did alot of praying and found peace and guidance. I guess what I'm trying to say is, take care to check your own physical, emotional and psychological health. Neither of your parents would want you to harm your good health because of them. I had to deal with a lot of guilt when I first put Mom in a residential care home. I felt horrible, but then I realized that she was getting great care and our relationship actually improved. I am still very involved in her daily care. Our visits are fun, refreshing, and gives us both something to look forward to (although hers is in the moment.)
Just wanted to let you all know that your stories touch my heart and give me more peace in knowing that what we do is the right thing to do. My family has been enriched by having my inlaws both 83years old, one blind and the other with alzheimers. I work fulltime, my spouse is currently laid off from work so is at home assisting his parents along with both of our daughters (19 & 20 years old)that are usually their caretakers on a day to day basis. We pay them in between school to care for them instead of working outside the home. This has been a blessing for them as well as the grandparents as having your family care for you is a treasure that can not be gotten any other way. They have learned that family is a precious gift. We like you all have moments of frustation and moments of shear joy and laughter as the things that happen can make you pull your hair out or almost die laughing. I must say that there are more days of joy than the hair pulling. Mostly I just wanted to encourage you all to trust that God puts you where HE needs you in this walk in life. Sometimes it is for your benefit and other times it is for someone else. HE knows what we need before we do and won't give you more than you are able do to through HIM. Embrace each moment and give praise for another day that He has given. Thanks for the encouragement that I receive from your thoughts, stories and blessed lives. Val
I am the caregiver for my stepmother and my father. My stepmother has advanced Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (alcohol related dementia) and my dad has Lewy Bodies form of dementia. To say caring for the two of them is quite exhausting is greatly understating the case. I am happy to see these blogs. I just got my mom to start using diapers which has cut down on the messes I have to clean up. My dad has been using them for about a year but his vision is so poor I still have a lot to clean up with him. Mom's appetite runs from non-existent to ravenous. She is like a kid sometimes in that if you have something she wants some of it too. The medicines the doctors have given them have not helped at all. They were both on Namenda and Aracept at various times. Dad is not on anything now as he gets violent delusions from them. Mom is just on Aracept. The Dr. gave her the new stronger dose one but it gave her diarrhea - something I don't need!! So she is back on the lower dose. Will check with the Dr for more guidance there. I e-mail my brothers who live across the country from us but they really don't care about mom and dad. Long story there!! Due to circumstances in our childhood my parents didn't raise us. My brothers think I should just put them in a nursing home and forget about them. I would not be a good christian if I did that while I can still care for them. I'll keep going as long as I can.
I came across this blog for the first time today. My heart and prayers go out to all of you and your loved ones. I am entering my 14th yr. of caring for a spouse with dementia , at hoe , alone. He was first diagnosed with Pick's Disease , now referred to as FTD , or Frontal Temporal Dementia or Frontal Temporal Degenerative disease. A year ago he was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease as well . A double whammy. The most important thing for all of us is support. From support groups , friends , family , or otherwise. The number one thing I would like to say is , we have to take care of ourselves first and foremost. Because if we don't , we can't take care of them. Mine has been a long painful , eye opening journey , as I suspect most of yours has been. I did not and still don't, have the support of my husbands family. Due to denial , probably , or some other reason. That was the most painful realization. But have come to know that this is not unusual. I now belong to two support groups , one for Alzheimers and one for FTD. It has been so helpful in many ways. I kept telling people close to me I was going to write a book , because no one would believe what I've been through. But then I thought , who would want to read it. As the one member of the FTD support group , whose husband is farther along in the disease , I am in a way a kind of spoke person for his illness and his journey and mine
I am so thankful that Angela included this information in her newsletter. It is so helpful to hear how others are coping with this disease. My spouse of 50 years is a heart transplant survivor of 23 years who now is afflicted with vascular dementia. Losing the close partnership we have had for so long is one of the saddest things to experience. Over the years I've learned how to take care of his physical needs, but am very challenged by the constantly changing circumstances of the dementia. Island girl's eloquent words express it all so well. I've added this blog site to my bookmarks and plan to use it often.
My sister is 56 and has early Alzheimer . Have been taking care of her for 4 years now . It has been hard seeing her go down hill . Now I have to place her in a home somewhere . I'm sick and can no longer keep her at home . My health is at risk .Nice to find this blog to read and see info for caregivers to help understand what we go through .Thanks
I also have a blog about my caregiving experience with my dad. It helps me so much. Sometimes I feel like I don't really have anyone to talk to who truly "gets" it, so I turn to my blog. It has become a very important part of this journey. http://jensenrice.blogspot.com/
Writing has always been a good outlet for me, and I have journaled true stories, as well as doing some creative pieces. It is likely that as a collection, they would give a good picture of me in the various stages I've traveled. Now, my mom is 91, suffers from physical shortcomings related to aging, and has various levels of memory, depending upon the subject. I am 59, married, work full time in a location 30 miles away, am active in my church, and search for time (due to work schedules) to spend with my son and daughter-in-law. Right now, there is not much time for writing, except in my own mind. I mentally document things about my mom after each visit. I try very hard to meet her needs which, despite her age, are few. She still lives alone (with her cat), and we have someone in once a week to do the heavy cleaning. So it is up to my husband and me to only assure she has food and to get her to MD appointments. Sometimes it is difficult to leave her, because at her age, things can change so quickly. I feel guilty if I leave anything at all undone. And when I have time off, I feel guilty if I don't share every possible moment with her. But I do not resent that guilt -- I love her very much and am determined to do for her what I know she would do for me if the tables were turned -- and DID do for me when I was the dependent one as a child. God holds both our hands and will see us through this. I am so thankful.
It's hard to balance our needs with the needs of the Alzheimer's spouse. Partnerships are no longer possible, and there is no safe haven at home. I miss that more than anything. My home is an everchanging place, not knowing where my husband puts things is very unsettling. Social life is non-existant because he says weird things and people don't like to be uncomfortable. That's all for now.
I wanted to share my story of a wonderful and loving 73 year old husband diagnosed 6 years ago with vascular dementia, 33 years of marriage, an incredible extended family of 5 daughters and 1 son. We moved back "home" after retiring to Cape Cod for 10 years once my husband was diagnosed to be closer to children and 13 grandchildren. God surely has blessed us with an incredible supportive family, who takes turns visiting "papa". He suffered a real blow to the dementia when he lost his eyesight unexpectedly 18 months ago; it seemed that the dementia increased dramatically overnight. I was my husband's full time caregiver until he lost his sight and then God sent us an "angel" who has helped take care of him but also has helped me immeasurably. She is grounded in the spirit and continually prays for us, reads the Bible, and has lifted me spiritual so I can face each new day with trust and a light heart that only comes from the Heavenly realm. My husband is the most loveable and appreciative man always thanking and kissing all those who visit him, says the funniest impromptu things that bring us pure joy. He is very social even though he has gone through tough times he never complains. My wonderful, handsome husband is a delight and I feel it is an honor and privilege to be with him and share this journey together. He remembers his name and knows who I am and when the children come he is always hugging and kissing them. He is truly a blessing
Writing can be theraputic not only for the caregiver, but also for our loved ones who show signs of, or are suffering from Alzheimer's. It's been shown that activities that stimulate the brain such as writing or doing a crossword puzzle, can be monumental in delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease. While modern medicine hasn't developed a 'cure' yet, they have made progress in diagnosing AD early, which is very critical in making decisions regarding patient treatment and management. We have an article about early detection of AD on our blog if you'd like to read more or have any questions: http://northwestradiology.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/pet-ct-delivers-earlier-more-accurate-detection-of-alzheimers-disease/
Oh and just want to also say I took Island Girls quote copy and pasted to an email of all the loving friends I have to thank them for being a gift from God ....So thanks to Island girl's
I do agree that journaling is a wonderful aid in our process. I decided that I would journal our story for my Grandaughter. My son as sadley decided to pull away from his father and not allow his grandchildren time with Rick. I have no energy for his selfishness but I do want Zoey to know what a great guy her Pop-pop is. So I began this journal for her. Rick's in the mid stage with lots of love and storys to tell and he's a man that doesn't play the "poor me". Everyone that spends time with him delights in his attitude and humor. They don't see the frustration his everyday is, but it is his path deemed by things out of his control. Alz is a cruel unfair disease but lets be honest no disease is good. What is the different about this disease is that it effects the caregiver has greatly as the person with the disease. And it's only a path you can understand when you walk it. So writing and reading your feelings helps to validate your emotions ......whether they be good, bad or indifferent. A cheap black and white composition book (we all have used in our elementary school days) works wonders, ps I remember when they were 59 cents :). So do consider writing no points off for spelling !

When it comes to making music that speaks to a generation, famed artist Emmylou Harris certainly fits the bill. The crooner, who's been making records for decades, has proved her passion throughout her entire career. Harris spent much of her childhood in North Carolina, before moving to Woodbridge, Va., where she graduated at the top of her class. Despite being book smart, Harris decided to take a dramatic scholarship at the University of North Carolina to hone in on her true love - music. There, she was able to listen to and learn how to play songs by the legendary Bob Dylan, before moving to New York to sing folk and club music on her own. After a shaky start to her career - she got pregnant while making her first record, Gliding Bird, before her label went under - she was able to eventually make a name for herself in 1971. Since then, she's released more than 10 albums and worked with icons including Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Elvis Costello, Peter Gabrielle, U2 and Neil Young. With such a seasoned and impressive resume, it's no wonder crowds buy Emmylou Harris tickets to see this legend perform live.

Ohlendorf, Nats look to rebound vs. Niese, Mets
After taking step back in Wild Card race, Washington eyes finale win
The Nationals are not likely to catch the Braves in the National League East, but they're still fighting for a Wild Card spot with a month left in the season. Washington hasn't made that goal any more of a reality in the first two games of this weekend's series against the Mets, but the club will look to salvage at least one game in the finale on Sunday night at Nationals Park.
After sweeping the Marlins, Washington dropped a heartbreaker to the Mets on Friday and lost, 11-3, on Saturday. Although the Nationals would like to win every game as they chase a playoff berth, they know the last 27 games of the season will be more about battling back and moving forward.
"We've been playing really good baseball lately, and these games are going to show up," said bench coach Randy Knorr. "We can't expect to go out and win the last 30 games. Somebody's going to stop us one day, and we've just got to pick it up and go after it again."
On Sunday, the Nationals will turn to right-hander Ross Ohlendorf as they work on making up a 7 1/2-game deficit to the Reds for the NL's second Wild Card spot. Ohlendorf retired the first nine batters he faced on Tuesday against the Marlins and went on to give up just one run on three hits and a walk in five innings. He pitched into the sixth but gave up a home run and was pulled.
Following the start, manager Davey Johnson contemplated putting Ohlendorf back in the bullpen, especially after his velocity dropped 10 mph in the sixth inning, but he decided to stick with the 31-year-old right-hander for Sunday's start against the Mets. However, it could be his last before the Nationals give Tanner Roark a shot in the No. 5 spot in the rotation.
Meanwhile, New York will lean on Jon Niese to try to pick up the three-game sweep. Niese enters his 19th start of the season coming off the second shutout of his career on Tuesday, when he held the Phillies to just three hits. Since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 11, Niese has made four starts, going 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA.
Although the Mets face double-digit deficits in the NL East and the Wild Card races, seeing the 26-year-old lefty perform like he has of late is exciting for manager Terry Collins.
"It gives you big hope," Collins said. "We had huge expectations in the beginning of the season for Jon Niese."
Sunday will mark Niese's first start of the season against Washington, but he's gone 3-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his six previous career starts vs. the Nationals.
Mets: Davis strains oblique
The Mets might be without the services of first baseman Ike Davis for the foreseeable future after he exited Saturday's game with a strained right oblique. He sustained the injury in the third inning, when he hit a sacrifice fly and then grabbed his right side. He didn't come back to the field for the bottom of the inning, as he was replaced by Lucas Duda.
Since the All-Star break, Davis has built a .453 on-base percentage. In the last 13 games, Davis has hit three of his nine home runs, and Collins said before Saturday's game he was happy with his improvements at the plate since coming back from a Minor League stint in early July.
"He went down and worked on his plate discipline and he's gotten on base," Collins said. "One of the things, obviously, that I think has somewhat happened is I don't think he's gotten many pitches to hit. Everyone still knows he's very dangerous when he goes up there, and I think they're very careful with him. He's been good enough that he's taken the walks. He hasn't tried to go outside the zone and do anything. He's just said, 'If you're not gonna pitch to me, I'm gonna get on.' I think that's a really good sign."
Nationals: Harper's knee could still be problematic
Bryce Harper took criticism from Knorr and Johnson after not sprinting down the line on a routine ground ball on Friday night. Johnson, though, admitted that the left knee that kept Harper out of action for all of June might still be bothering him and could be a factor in his play.
"I think it's still an issue. I think it's probably there," Johnson said. "He can probably play with it, but if he headfirst slides or dives in the outfield, it's probably going to flare up. But hopefully, he'll get through the season."
Harper on Saturday made his 50th start in the last 54 games since returning from bursitis in his left knee, and Johnson doesn't think a lack of effort is something he needs to be overly concerned about with the 20-year-old outfielder.
"I haven't seen a lot of it," Johnson said. "I've seen a little of it. I don't know what's going through his mind. I'll have a conversation."
Worth noting
• With a 3-for-5 performance on Saturday, the Nationals' Denard Span extended his career-high hitting streak to 14 games.
• After Sunday's 8:05 p.m. ET start, the Mets travel to Atlanta for a matchup with the Braves at 1:10 p.m. on Monday.
• The Mets and Nationals are an even 7-7 entering the 15th game of the season series between the two teams.

Anemia is a low level of healthy red blood cells (RBC). RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is needed to build healthy RBCs. Lower RBC counts mean the body is not getting enough oxygen.

Iron can be taken as a supplement or as part of a multivitamin. Iron comes in many "salt" forms. Ferrous salts are better absorbed than ferric salts.

would be very nice if gtk developer help improve even more Qt and Mir get into the dark history books, we will get rid then of many duplications and improve a lot many things. /dream
I deliberately wrote that sentence about GIMP.
Thing is, despite all that trolling about how evil Qt supposedly is, it's the best toolkit under a free license. If Qt was so very evil, why is GTK so bad? One would think everybody would flock to it to make it better
Xfce is the last mainstream Linux shell that's written using GTK.
GNOME Shell is written with Clutter. So is Cinnamon.
Plasma Workspaces never were written in GTK, Unity uses Nux and will switch to Qt, and now LXDE has been ported to Qt. (OK, maybe you can count MATE as major shell.)
And while I'm aware of GIMPs roadmap, the GIMP team hasn't really been in a hurry to make the jump to GTK3.
would be very nice if gtk developer help improve even more Qt and Mir get into the dark history books, we will get rid then of many duplications and improve a lot many things. /dream
before any troll come here to feed, let me clear this a bit
Gtk has many technical merits and Qt has many nice cool features, what i mean if you merge the good in both into 1 badass toolkit would remove a lot of duplication that exist this day. i mean you can always find an application in gtk that do the same than an Qt one and it exist just because one is gtk and the other is Qt.
this would remove all the duplication and efforts wasted in make gtk apps look like Qt one or viceversa that if you ask me will help a freaking lot to keep experience among different desktop a lot more cleaner.
shitstorm in 3 2 1
1)Why would kde ever do this? They are one of the biggest free software projects. They have never produced non-free software and feel very strongly about free.
2) Even if kde wanted, you are 100% false, KDE cannot relicense qt to be non-free.
The Foundation has a license agreement with Digia and Nokia. This agreement ensures that the Qt will continue to be available under both the LGPL 2.1 and the GPL 3. Should Digia discontinue the development of the Qt Free Edition under these licenses, then the Foundation has the right to release Qt under a BSD-style license or under other open source licenses. The agreement stays valid in case of a buy-out, a merger or bankruptcy.
A) Because of what I just said above, if Digia ever made Qt non-free (which they won't as this would kill their business), KDE automatically relicenses Qt as free.
Qt cannot be closed.
Qt commercial license is exactly the same as the LGPL qt, only under a more liberal license with support, this is how Qt makes money. The sources of both are the same. Even Richard Stallman supports this dual licensing business model.
GTK is a steaming pile of s***. Not to discredit the hard work that the devs put into it, but after kindergarten you don't get an A for effort.
well gtk is a bit more memory aware, it support web integration[very cool feature], used to work better than Qt with software rendering, widgets are actually double buffered since while ago and i think their theme engine was very well thought[gtk2 times].
i do consider gtk API insane too and sometimes C is just too low and make their code look really intimidating.
but the fact is, they are good developers with experience in this area, so maybe is not a good idea to port actual code but use their experience to bring more ideas to Qt and make GTK dissapear for good[which that alone is a huge win in the not-reinvent-the-wheel-again department] which i assume will translate in many duplicated project to modularize or join efforts[openshot and kdenlive would be nice candidates or amarok and banshee or brasero and k3b, etc]
You make no sense AT ALL.
Did you even read my comment?
There are not editions of Qt, it is all the same source code, just available under different licenses. LGPL/GPL (free), or if you pay money, you get a commercial license without the GPL/LGPL restricitons and get paid support.
The Qt free agreement garuntees the free licensing option of Qt will always exist. If that option were to be removed tomorrow, KDE automatically get's to relicense Qt under any open source license they choose, (be it BSD, LGPL, ect.).
please this is not a WoW forum, if you wanna troll at least freaking read the thing you wanna troll first and find a gray area worth trolling[Q we need you back], really just troll an public document that have been checked by every FSF lawyer/qt developer/Kde developer and actual good trolls before you has found no actual way to do this.
beside the agreement actually state in bold free licences only[i mean is hard to miss, you dislexic?]
btw the agreement is free to read men and is even in wikipedia and 100% public for everyone to read, maybe you could have more luck if it were secret but you not even failed at trolling or googlefu you even epic failed in reading.
im not joking unban Q, between honton/boss and ubutroll, the trolling is hitting sad low

A town in Northern California known for its Victorian Style houses. It also is known for not having as many tweakers and pot heads compared to the rest of the county. During the summer months, Ferndale is filled with tourons. It is famous for the westernmost saloon in the contiguous United States, the Palace.
When walking in Ferndale, we avoided all of the picture taking tourons.

Ferndale,Michigan is a small city just outside of Detroit. It has 8 Mile as a dividing line like many other citys such as Warren, the city Eminem came from.
Ferndale gave birth to its own rap stars like Inner City Posse- AKA ICP & Insane Clown Posse who are known to have problems with Slim Shady. Ferndales other most know artist is Vishiss or Spit Vish who may be most remembered as Versis on the short lived tv show Platinum on UPN. Also like I.C.P., Vish does very little to nothing to show his Ferndale roots by saying that he is from Mo Town instead of its own rough, rugged & raw neighbor.

The Special Olympics Officials Program for Athletes (SOOPA) encourages Special Olympics athletes who have mastered a sport to become certified officials. Just as a retired professional athlete might eventually become an official in his or her sport, the Special Olympics Officials Programs for Athletes enables Special Olympics athletes to do the same.
SOOPA pairs an athlete with an experienced Special Olympics official to complete the certification process through a sport's national governing body (NGB) or international sports federation (ISF). Since SOOPA began in 1991, athletes have attained certifications through International Softball Federation (ISF), Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIBA), International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA), among others.
Expanding Their SkillsIn addition to officiating Special Olympics competitions, certified athlete officials are also eligible to officiate competitions sponsored by the sports governing body through which they are accredited. The SOOPA program provides an avenue for athletes to expand their social skills, increase community involvement, and build self-esteem. In addition, since SOOPA participants are certified by a sport's governing entity, the program creates new employment opportunities.
FIFA Gets InvolvedRecently, former Fédération International Football Association (FIFA) referees and Special Olympics supporters Mario Sanchez of Chile, Javier Castrilli of Argentina, and Felipe Ramos Rizo of México conducted a football official certification in Mexico, where Special Olympics Mexico athlete Javier Soto, was certified. Soto will join six other athletes from Paraguay, Chile, and Bolivia to officiate the 2011 Copa America in Paraguay.
To learn more about SOOPA, watch this video.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.
Proud partner of Special Olympics.

Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland. This gland is in the neck. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism. The surgery may be a:

Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep.
An incision will be made in the front of the neck. Bleeding vessels will be clamped and tied off. All or part of the thyroid gland will be cut away from other tissues in the neck. Care will be taken to avoid injury to other nearby glands and nerves. Bleeding is controlled with special tools that compress and seal the ends of the vessels. The incision will be closed. The edges of skin will be stitched together. A drain will often be left in overnight. It will help drain any extra fluids.
The thyroid may be removed to treat thyroid cancer. In this case, lymph nodes in the area may also be removed. This will test if the cancer has spread.
In some cases, the doctor may be able to remove the thyroid using endoscopic surgery. This involves making small incisions, instead of a large incision in the neck. This is becoming more common.
About 2-4 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is one day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
