well, I have been here and posted once, but it was to ask a question not to share and I wonder how does one share? Do I "tell my story"here or is there a specific spot? confused Also does anyone go on the chat sites? Some times I would like someone just to chat with in real time so to speak.. Thanks Hootenders wife

 

tongue  I put  a title to your thread ........you can change if you want it makes it easier for ppl to know what thread is all about.............

Merry Christmas to you

Just checking in to seee how you are doing

Hello, I am doing alright. We had a nice Christmas and now my husband is messing with the new stuff he got from me..Christmas eve was a bit crazy for him due to the Alz me do to my lack of sleep the night before and pain in my joints. BUT, it was fun. My husband is 53 was diagnosed with the alz 2 years ago. His father died of it at age 72. My step grandfather at 75 we know whats going on so to speak. Larry however is on meds something they did not have at the time. He is on disability ss and has been at home. He cant do his old job that he provided us an income,  he had injuries from on the job. Long story anyhow. But they now claim because he was diagnosed with Alz and cant retrain it is our problem Our lawyer howeverhas helped them to see different. This really takes a toll on my husband the constant on and off with the L&I people. Anyhow I am so happy to have a place to talk.

 Hook tenders wife that should read good but if it werent for God I would be crazy...

I thought I answered the post hum.. Anyhow this has been a real trying few days..I got a horrid migrain yesterday had to take the meds for it.that makes me so tired..it accured I am sure from decisions my adult children and children in-laws are making that are POOR I also have a flare up in my knee and it is twice what it should be. I took Larry my husband to doctor on Wed. They are changing him from Aricept to Razadyne ER they also put him on an antidepressent. It is called remeron. ANyhow the pain in my knee is nothing compared to the pain in my heart watching the man I love go through this. We have been married 22 years and together 23. He has raised my children from 3,2,and newborn. He has always been the best you know what I mean..I think of my "X" husabnd who never cared about his children and all the abuse he gave me. Why is he not sick why Larry. OK I AM BETTER

I'm on Razadyne & Remeron.They work great together.I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago But was on Aricept the first 4 yrs & when it quit working I was put on Razadyne,that was 6 yrs ago.I'm still doing very well.

Sometimes my husband said he feels like the easier something is that he should know the more up set he gets at himself it is very hard for him as we have no support groups for early onset Ad around here.

I try to keep away from the stress of forgetting or whatever.I just laugh it off & go on.Why worry about something I can not control?
Posted 12/30/2006 6:27 AM (GMT 0)
yes he is finally getting to where he will tell especially our grown children you know I just cant figure it out. They are 22,23,25 he was alwaysy trying to spare them that he was not able now he just says I cant. I now tell them that he cant hanle their stressful problems and they are going to have to grow up maybe I am being selfish I dont know. he always was the bread winner and I stayed home , he was as our oldest said superman and ways laughter is so good. Larry will laugh when I say you know we watched that whatever it might be and he says the good thing about Ad is these are all new to me lolol
Posted 12/30/2006 12:45 PM (GMT 0)

Well, today I am really in a mess tears all over the place. I have so many crazy things going on currently. Our oldest nephew my husbands name sake will be shipping out on Jan. 3rd 18 months away from his children and wife. Very envovled family and now he will be in a scary place. Anyhow hubby and he had a great talk. Hubby is so funny, they talked football and when he was off the phone he said man I cant believe I remembered all that. Then said laughing or maybe he is being polite and dint correct me...lol humor is good. I have been on Cymbalta for my neck nerve damage and now I ran out I think that is why I feel like all this is so much. I mean it has been a really crazy few months. Anyhow I shall prevail the Lord has me in His Care. Chilkoo
