Good afternoon,
We seem to forget so easily how lucky we have it. I just had a patient who is only 26 yrs old and was shot in the back and is a quad. He breaths by a ventilator, with a trachea, and his arms and legs are contracted. Just remember that whether you are taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's or a disability, that to the world you may be but one person but to one person you may be the world. May God Bless You.
Hope that if you are dealing with a family member with Alzheimer's that you are going to a support group for a little extra help. Remember that you are not alone. If you read my book, I would love to get some feed back on what you thought. There is some activities coming up for the awareness of Alzheimer's. It is the Alzheimer's Memory Walk.
In Sun City West - 10-18-08- Berdsley Recreation Center and Phoenix - 11-01-08 - Wesley Bolin Plaza. If you go on Alzheimer's Association you can read more information. Or call Desert Southwest Chapter Office. 602-528-0545.
Have a great day. Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
Marie Fostino
