I run down a path that looks exactly like the picture you see. I'd take a picture of the actual path I run if I could find my phone. I write this to share what's happening to me not for your pity but perhaps one of your loved ones may be demonstrating the same symptoms.
The past few months I'm told I'm not a fun guy to be with, anger has snuck inside me.
I can't remember names of people I've known for years. Now it's almost all common
objects. I've lost my mail key three times. Tonight I can't find my mail key again. I'm
getting to be known at the Post Office and the key maker's business. Living alone, I eat
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and ice cream. I am the first to say exercise can't
keep you from gaining weight on this diet. I don't seem to care.I admit stopping all these
pills I'm supposed to take. I will agree to take a few. I think your mind can control almost anything. Meditation seems to help.Exercise keeps me from exploding.
I"m thinking of some business that delivers meals at a certain calorie limit. Now for the
gross part, I know this is a family paper, so let's just say I should be wearing adult diapers
All the time. I won't have a keeper. I am in a boxing match; I may have lost a few rounds
but the fight has several rounds.
Make your loved one who has some of my symptoms, take pills. Accept it, if a loved
One says or does something unusual. If a person, you love, upsets you, tell them.
let your loved one know you insist they eat properly and will do whatever is necessary
to be sure they are.
The most important issue I want to share, make sure the person has the determination
and desire to make the demons in them to fight what's happening.
I promise not to bore you with my journey, but I know something about Dementia and Parkinson's.I want your loved ones life to be as easy on them and you as possible.

into love we didn't know possible.
