Sick some this weekend and slept a lot yesterday evening,so didn't go to
bed till late last night. That was a mistake because about the time I
got in bed, reading and nearly ready to go to sleep, Mom was up and
about. And she wanted me up too. Kept coming into my bedroom and pulling

Wednesday afternoon, I dislocated my replaced hip for the third
time---Sept.2000, Sept. 2001, and Sept. 2005.  Next September I'm going to
bed and staying there until the month is over!!!  So I am back in my
abduction brace and walking funny for about 6 weeks or so.  I'm doing ...

HI. My name is Johnny...I am 31. My dad is 60 and has alzheimers...I
moved back home about 4 years ago when I was around 27 when he was still
just fine and normal as can be. About a year later is when I started to
notice different things about him...in late 2003 he was diagnosed ...

Do any of you have the problem of them calling the police on you? I am
32 years old and my mom had me when she was 47. She now has
Alzheimers.
Last night, I was out at the bars and went home with a woman. I didn't

Slept 2 hours last night and woke up. Have had some things bugging me
for a few weeks,plus,some nice things to think about too. So my mind is
sort of over busy right now! LoL And I know one of my brothers and his
wife is coming to visit sometime right before noon today and here it ...

What is your experience on how long life is after diagnosis? The books say

I  read, yesterday, in the depths of pubgradmet.com that early-onset Alzheimer's
disease has a life-expectancy of circa 3-5 years (or something like that).
Can anybody confim or repute that? Alternatively, find the URL within

That's what I'm doing tonight. LoL Have been coming out of this bad mood
for several days now and it's nice to see the slow but sure improvement.
Nice this week even when I had a setback and that because I knew I was
still on the way up.:-) Not hyper; :-) but just feeling better.

I accidently posted something twice. Is there a way to delete the copy?

I couldn't believe it when we got our last electric bill;but it was down
$35 for August, :-) that out hottest month here and the AC going
fulltime! The difference? The new and smaller AC we have in the kitchen
window. That cools the kitchen and the living room where Mom sleeps.

My dad is 90, and has experienced at least two TIA's that we are aware of,
there may have been more.  We have received a diagnosis of  "mild vascular
dementia."  He lives in a large retirement complex in the Midwest, currently
in "supported independent" status.  He attends a clinic ...

I've been reading about how LO's with dementia behave differently with
different people.   My mother knew that she could get away with more stuff
with my brother because he was and to a certain extent still in denial.  He
would let her take her car to drive to church even though ...
