Is Anyone Considering Voluntary Brain Donation?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Quoting from the Columbia University website: "Our ability to understand how Alzheimer's disease affects the brain and causes debilitating memory loss, confusion, and eventually death, is dependent upon studying brain tissue."

Research is SO important. I'm wondering if anyone else is considering this.

You can find information at the weblink below (National Institute on Aging).

Didn't with my husband. But with Clyde that could be a thought for discussion. I doubt he would agree to it.

Have You Disposed Of Things Your Loved One No Longer Needs?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has so many tools, clothes and things from his active life that no longer apply to his end-of-life journey. I included his hiking boots in a bag going out to the bin this morning when I saw them in the garage and my heart just broke. They were far too worn to donate and far too painful to keep around. Oh, all those wonderful hikes we took together, even to the top of the highest peak in AZ. I’m not sure how you all have done this, but hopefully I’ll have the strength to carry on.

As Barb4 said, that's precious. I can just see the two of you marching around😊 Maybe you should get some tambourines.

Once Confined To Bed How Long Did Your LO Live That Way?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I haven’t posted in a while. I was living in FL but brought my husband up north in May to be near family. He steadily declined, eventually losing ability to walk etc. He is now completely bedbound. He is incontinent and cannot feed himself. He has lost interest in eating and even getting him to drink is a challenge. He has lost weight now. He has that occasional smile or comment that makes me remember how he was. I hate to see him this way. Some days I wish it was over and I feel so guilty for… read more

We had hospice care for my husband for the last 6 1/2 weeks of his life. He had an episode of a-fib, and went downhill rapidly. Two weeks before he died, he started falling, so we put the side rails… read more

I couldn't afford any of the mechanized ones so I bought a baby doll at Wal-Mart for $10. She loves our baby Sarah.

What About CBD Oil?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone tried CBD oil? I've had someone try to convince me she knows someone who made a miraculous turn around. (not cure, but improvement) I know it's reaching, but just curious if anyone has tried it, and what were the results.

thanks,
Sonia

Has Anyone Considered Donating Your Loved Ones Brain To Science?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve researched online about donating my fathers brain for alzheimers study and its becoming a real possibility. This disease needs a cure and if my fathers brain could help in any way I think it would make him happy to know his pain and suffering wasn’t in vain.

My Darling Was An Amazing Engineer And Has Loads Of Specialised Tools In Our Garage
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

he is no longer able or interested in them and says if we sell our house we will leave them there - when is an appropriate time to start disposing of them as they are a constant reminder of the man who slipped away before my very eyes and there was nothing i could do to save him ! the boys indicated they are not interested in having them so ultimately it willbe me doing this - we are not shifting btw - it was just his way of dealing with something that is too difficult now ! 😢

He may say now that he does not want his tools and tomorrow he may want them. There is no good answer. It is hard to remember who they where a long time ago and to see them today. There is not much… read more
