Alzheimer's Blogging:

Today was an eventful day. I really enjoyed myself as I spoke at Willowbrooke United Methodist Church. There was not a dry eye when I finished speaking. I do hope I have shed some light on being a caretaker and that they are not alone. If anyone would like me to talk to their support group please contact me. I would love to share anything I can to help make their life easier. Also if you are looking for a support group, ( and it is important to have one) check out Alzheimer's Association. They have the names of support groups all over the United States.

Than I worked out with Richard Simmons, swam for 30 minutes and prayed. Remember that if you have a brother, sister or parent with Alzheimer's you have a good chance to get it. So fight now and exercise to get blood circulated to your brain. Read to keep your brain as sharp as possible. A good diet is very important, but if you suspect that you are doing more than just forgetting, please see a Doctor, get checked out and get on the drugs so that the disease may slow down and you can have a productive life longer.

Check out my u-tube on Grandpa Joe and see how this disease melted his brain.
