Hi Free,
I just read your reply to Ziggy about his mother. I bet it was very hard and very emotionally difficult for you. Alzheimers is a tough one. I have an uncle with it now, and he is only 62. My Aunt was taking care of him all of the time at home and never could get a brake. He would not stay with anyone else, so she g
could go out, except for his son. His son has a family now, with 2 children, 8, and 6. That is vwry sad for them, and I am sure that they will remember himbut in a different way. He became ill before they were even born. Finally, this past month my Aunt had to put him into a nursing home because she couldn't take care of him anymore. Sometimes the caregiver can be very over whelmed, especially without a break. My Uncle used to attack the aides whether they were male or female, and as his disease worsened, he became very abusive to his wife and other family members. Now that he is in a nursing home, he has been even more angry, and wants to go home he says.
