What to expect !

I took care of my brother-inlaw until he needed care we could not give hime at home !
So for three years I watched the man I knew disappear until he needed more care than we could give .
Now I was told I have Alzheimer's. Looking back , I had a hunch it might be there when I had trouble passing a few of the test's they gave him 6 yrs ago .
The thing is , when the Dr wanted to explain what to expect I unfortunately already knew .
I guess knowing puts me at an advantage and disadvantage at the same time !
The advantage : like giving her the keys to the vehicles without an argument. I had one near miss and I gave her my keys .
I already have the answers to many questions that my brother in-law had .
I'm not saying that I will be any easier , but I hope I can make it easier as it progresses.
