The Long Goodbye
1970’s we took care of Grama for 6 yrs of Alzheimer’s. I was diagnosed a year and a half ago with it. I feel myself fading away mentally, and I refuse to go thru this hideous disease till the end.
I am at stage 2-3 and a lil of 4; I live alone, cooking is rare, bathing is 3X a week, my hair is falling out, I have no desire to leave my home, sold my car, family is not involved except for my precious daughter who will be testing today for Alzheimer’s. This is a nightmare.
