I feel for you, it is difficult to deal with alzheimers, the disease is just terrible. It affects their memory but many who have no experience closely with someone who has had the disease don’t realize how it affects their mood. They get angry cause of frustration, cause they forgot what they should remember, cause they forgot for that moment how they should really react, etc.
I find it helps to remind myself that it is just the disease, not them. And it is great that you are there to help your mom, it is something to cherish as a memory of her.
I hope your mom got to watch her program.
(Dad is in Stage 6 going onto Stage 7 of the disease, it has been a tough journey, but I wouldn’t have missed going thru it with him for anything).
Geez, just move to the west coast. The games out here end at very reasonable times (even the night games are done by 8:30-9:00), and 60 Minutes always starts on time. As a bonus, the weather is usually nicer too.
Really? I kind of like that. It took me a year or two to adjust to it, but it’s pretty cool. I can sit down with the early games with a cup of coffee starting off the day, and by about 12:30 or so when they are coming down to the wire, I can pop open a beer and have some lunch. Whenever I go back to the Midwest during football season, I"m out of sorts on Sunday mornings waiting for the games to start at noon.
Dammit…I just wasted a perfectly good rant about the complete ignorance of that last statement – how Eli Manning is tied for the league lead in touchdowns while qb’ing for the league’s third-ranked offense, etc etc…
Then I realized you meant “no offense” as in “I don’t mean to offend you”, not “and the Giants have no ability to move the ball”. Wha-oops…
