I had the privilege of taking a cute 67 yr old female. She was a small women, maybe only 70 pounds. Skin like tissue paper, so we had to handle her very carefully so that her skin would not tear. Her mind was there. She knew what was going on. But her body wouldn't let her live anymore like she wanted to . The hard and scary part of life is not knowing if you are going to have your mind at 67 or if Alzheimer's is going to take it away. If you have a family member, or know of someone who has a loved one and is going through Alzheimer's please let them read my book. I think it will give a great insight on what to expect and how everyone is so different. Not only the patient with Alzheimer's but the caretaker. What makes the world so unique is that we are all made different. Some of us were made to be caretakers and some of us were made for other things. Remember that. If you look up Alzheimer's Weekly this week the saying is: LOVE GROWS BY GIVING! THE LOVE WE GIVE IS THE ONLY LOVE WE KEEP. Don't forget to pray.
