It would be important to get my #mother in a nursing home. Her #health has gone worse drastically. We hope that my mother and #father could live into the same 24/7 care home. #Today there is a meeting to assess her service needs. Please keep your fingers crossed! ♥️ Me and my #sister will both be present. #alzheimers #alzheimersawareness #AlzheimerSucks
@rockmastermike I was stunned to hear these were the causes most likely! I'm utterly horrified that Gene in advanced Alzheimer's Disease could potentially have known his wife died. Since he was still able to stand and walk, it is possible. And certainly in brief moments even with advanced dementia of some type, he could have had an awareness and that could have been all it took for the rest to kill him. #Alzheimer #AlzheimerSucks
Tänään 21.9. vietetään maailman #Alzheimer-päivää. Ikävä kyllä sekä äidillä että isällä on se. Luopuminen on tuskallista. Today is International Alzheimer's Day. Unfortunately both my #parents have it. It's painful to let go. #AlzheimersAwareness #alzheimersucks #suomimastodon #finland #familymatters #love
#Dad had a good day #today and he remembered me. He was very happy about the little gifts I brought him. Even his missing dentures were found in the drawer. #AlzheimerSucks #suomimastodon #finland #dementia
One of the first times ever I got the tree up at Thanksgiving. Last year it was a week before Christmas. I will figure out how to get lots of tiny clear lights to outline the front windows and get lights inside the glass hutch with a hundred cobalt blue glass pieces on display, out of view in this photo. We are going very simple to make it less stressful for my son. No dinner or guests yesterday on Thanksgiving. This afternoon some family stopped by. Yay!#AlzheimerSucks

@yourautisticlife @caregivers What a horrible shame! It’s not just a family member Alzheimer’s and dementia hits tragically. Caregivers are also forever changed. I read an article yesterday that worldwide by 2050 there may be 2-3 times as many more people diagnosed. Who will take care of them and eventually even the caregivers? #Alzheimer #AlzheimerSucks #Dementia
It was a day. Not a good day. Morning to night a lot of yelling, cursing and threats. It wears you out. #AlzheimerSucks
@caregivers
@Manny Oh thanks! We have such rough times that I try to share when there are sweet good times. Last night we blasted music for a while and he calmed down after 2 hours straight of yelling. So our plan for a “pool party” this morning worked out. This afternoon it’s a rough time again, but we all appreciate these respites. #AlzheimerSucks #Alzheimer
One whole hour Drew cursed out Ahmed for trying to get him to sit by the pool. He was yelling so loud an hour, sitting in his wheelchair. Then Ahmed called me out there - now Drew is happily sitting with his feet in the water. Drew is just chilling and chattering. @caregivers

He’s been okay for an hour now and ate well. A new caregiver just came so he’s happy to be in his room “playing” PlayStation at present. Reality is the caregiver plays but they talk through each move. I’m looking forward to possibly 2 whole hours of no yelling! Realistically he’ll have 2-3 more spells of rage ranting before 9 pm but I’ll take any grace periods! #DementiaSucks #AlzheimerSucks
