In ny opinion, my wife truly has not accepted everything that comes with the diagnosis. She talked about planning for the future (outside of her Alzheimer's future). Also, she just told me she does not want to go to the upcoming Alzheimer's walk because all they do there is talk about Alzheimer's.
My brother is in denial about our father having this dreadful disease. He has distanced himself away since I moved back home to help mom. Not that he helped her at all, just a quick visit over a mealā¦ read more
My husband has predominantly Lewy Body Dementia with Alzheimers, combined. He is nearly all the time in the delusion he is still working as an electrical engineer and I am a co-worker that he blames all his work problems on. He has gotten very aggressive at times. Almost like clockwork we go thru, "we need to leave to go to the transmitter site and do our work, I promised I would get it done and you aren't helping. And then you need to take me home, we can't stay here, we will die". Thereā¦ read more

My parents are new memory care residents. What types of activities are your loved ones involved in that are enjoyable and stimulating?
As Barb4 said, that's precious. I can just see the two of you marching aroundš Maybe you should get some tambourines.
My wife has Alzheimer's. She will ask me a question and then continue to ask me the same question even though I have given her the answer each time. I know it is because she can't remember my response but how can I keep from getting angry with her for the continual repetition

I'm truly sorry to hear about your wife's condition. Alzheimer's disease is challenging for both the person diagnosed and their caregivers. It's natural to feel a range of emotions, including frustration andā¦ read more
I do the notes with my husband too. I have a note pad and on bad days where he keeps asking the same question. I write all the answers down. Then when he asks, I say I think that is on the notepadā¦ read more
Husband has a narcissistic and selfish personality and has been know to be called a āhot headā and very argumentative. Just hoping he will change from that.
That has to be so hurtful. We have a few but luckily for the most part he is happy and not argumentative. I am trying very hard to avoid getting upset with him about the little things that rub me theā¦ read more
A battery operated door alarm system that has a receiver you can put in your pocket when downstairs or in the yard. Amazon has many but I can't figure out if they are what I'm looking for. Thanks.
I recently had a Ring doorbell installed. With the alert setting on, my phone chimes when someone opens the door or comes up to the front door. And I can go on the Ring app to see who it is. I alsoā¦ read more
My husband is on Hospice, but I will soon need to hire sitters on a regular basis, but I'm having a hard time activating the State Farm insurance that we are continuing to pay almost $2000 per year! They keep requesting "form EB04", which nobody has ever heard of! I'm so tired of trying to figure this out! Our hospice has sent them every possible form available.
Thanks again! Yes, I may have written it wrong in my notes.
The person you have loved and was the most important thing in your life for 50 plus years and now there is a hole in your heart big enough to drive a truck through.
@A myALZteam Member I am still in the house that we bought in 1974. It is just the right size and all one level. My sister Carol, (four years younger) moved in with us because of financialā¦ read more
