Sorry about the SUPER late reply. It's a tough one because as we get to a certain age memory loss is a given. But there are other signs outside of just memory loss due to age that might help you. I'm going to put a link in this reply for you. :) Do you go to the doc with him and if so could you set up a meet with his doc separate from him to discuss your concerns? You could even call the doc. If you are not signed off on a release it could be tricky though. Also, if you mean by asking being no help at all that the doc is just not receptive (read-doesn't care!) you should look for a new doc. We did that for my dad and the difference is amazing. If you ever need an ear, or a shoulder just drop me a comment. Michelle http://www.alz.org/national/documents/checklist_10signs.pdf Hey Bob. Sorry about the SUPER late reply.

I am remiss in checking on all my blog friends too :) LIfe is busy! Thank you for stopping and and leaving some love. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about him. That was my intention was to just pay homage to him, wasn't sure if I did or not.. sometimes my kids (who are grown) get irritated with him. They remember a big strong Grampa but they don't think of him as being a 'person' before they came along, lol. Much love to you <3 Hey Lana.

Anyway, I am sure your dad knows how you feel. After all, you are so much like – some things you know and others you do. Alzheimer’s is harder on you than on him and as our parents age, we are faced with similar dilemmas. All you can do is make the most of the moments he is coherent and enjoy the stories when he isn’t. I enjoyed reading about your father – he sounds like an amazing person. I don’t check in as often as I should so I missed this post. Anyway, I am sure your dad knows how you feel.

I'm wondering about my Dad because I can tell some things are sliding but he's so stubborn and when he does go to the doctor he won't say a word about what went on. And, asking the doctor is NO help at all. Michelle, I liked reading your story.

I didn't know that. Isn't it amazing. the power of music to touch the people? It's a bonus when it teaches someone something too. :) Thanks for stopping by and sharing that with me.

He wrote the song about that moment when they were at the lowest point. Makes me cry everytime.

And glad you found a good place :) It's easy to get frustrated, so hard to be sick all the time. Pre-sickness most of us believe doctors have all the answers and we can be fixed. It's a reality slap when you have something that is not fixable. Thank you for the well wishes. I really hope you are feeling good this weekend! Michelle Hey Bob,
