My enrichment is going to Chair Yoga twice a week at the 55+ community where I live with my husband John, taking a walk with a friend after class at least once a week, coloring in Coloring Books for Grownups, reading novels (but now I will try to write down themes, historical facts, and important characters, so if John asks me about a book I just read, I can answer his questions! Otherwise, it just: "It was good and I enjoyed reading it")

Hi Joyce, there are new discoveries happening all the time and I am getting my husband involved in a day care that specializes in enrichment activities with a lot of success. You are wonderful and brave to share your story. Hang in there❣️

I saw a Neurologist recently, and he recommended adding another medication. Now I take both memantine and Aricept, and it seems to be helping!
