Sadly this runs in my dad’s side of the family. My Best Party In The Galaxy Shirt , 1 uncle had it. Horrible to go through. They would have such bad days they didn’t know who i was or even there brothers. So i kind of live in fear that this will happen to me one day. I live with my mom and am her caretaker.

She will be 78, has severe osteoarthritis (hereditary on her mother side), emphazima, copd and fybromialgia (sp)….she forgets things, asks several times a day what day it is, when we have family visitors sometimes after they leave she’ll ask who was here. She’s said several times that her fear is that someday she’ll wake up and won’t know who i am.

My mom had alzheimers and dementia from 71 to 92. My dad and a little care giver lady and her husband helped them both. They lived in a really nice mobile home in palm desert. My dad lived to 98 and my mom died 6 mos. Later. It is a terrible disease that brings unbearable stress to the family.

My dad tried to get the va to help with in home care for her, but they screwed around with him until he died. I pray for your sanity and bless you for your care to your mom. My mom broke her hip so it was not possible to take her out and around like you have been able to do with your mom.

My prayers are with you and your family and your mom. Dementia is a horrible disease, what a beautiful story by a loving son . God bless you joe. My mother has alzheimer’s disease so i know exactly what it’s like….it’s so awful right now my mom still knows who i am . We are in the 3rd year since diagnosis. She’s her happy loving self , she just has no short term memory. I will care for her until her dying day.

Thank you joey daly for posting this and for starting the group. My mom died from complications of end stage of alzheimer’s in nov 2011. I never had the strength to share so much about her journey. My heart broke for you when you shared about your mom not knowing who you were. I remember that Best Party In The Galaxy Shirt with my mom like it was yesterday – still makes me cry.
