Alzheimer's is a Bitch: June 2011
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Monday, June 27, 2011. I posted on my regular blog some of the things on my mind lately regarding Mom and Alzheimers. I'm more selective about what I say there, but wondering if it's time to combine these two blogs. Do any of you keep the Alzheimer's stuff seperate from your other writing? If only it were so easy to categorize the hard stuff in other areas of life. Http:/ emuf.blogspot.com/2011/06/loving-mom.html. Links to this post. Saturday, June 4, 2011. Links to this post.

Alzheimer's is a Bitch: January 2011
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Monday, January 31, 2011. Mom’s 58th birthday was last week so my sister and I took her out for lunch. There’s strength in numbers. I told my sister recently that I wish I was as patient as she is with Mom. Sis takes it all in stride and smiles and soothes and makes Mom feel comfortable. I cringe and avoid eye contact and bite my tongue to keep from crying. My sister told me that her patience took practice. We said goodbye to Dad around 2:30pm and I said, "don't wait up! Mom frown...

Minding Mum: Breaking heart
http://mindingmum.blogspot.com/2012/02/breaking-heart.html
A journey of a daughter confronting her mother's world changing in the grip of Alzheimer's. Wednesday, February 8, 2012. My heart is breaking as my mother's brain is dying from Alzheimer's Disease. The little girl inside of me, who always wants to make sure Mummy is OK, cannot always do that now. The grown up part of me has to take them both by the hand and lead them through this scary and bewildering forest. February 8, 2012 at 8:24 PM. The picture is so sweet. Keeping you in my prayers. Judy said that ...

Another Texture | Vicki's View
https://veejayr.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/another-texture
Vicki's View – Through my lens. January 11, 2010. I’ve had this decorative dried corn practically forever. I love the colors so much I can’t bring myself to put them away, so they sit in a tray where I can see them every day. For nearly three weeks I’ve rolled my (temporary) wheelchair right past them looking for something shoot. Duh …. From → 2010 VPW. Notice: New Blog →. Leave one →. January 11, 2010 1:22 pm.

Minding Mum: All alone on this journey?
http://mindingmum.blogspot.com/2012/02/all-alone-on-this-journey.html
A journey of a daughter confronting her mother's world changing in the grip of Alzheimer's. Friday, February 17, 2012. All alone on this journey? And its exhausting - plenty would agree with that! Doing the right thing by someone you love with this disease is a challenge like no other - I do know that. February 17, 2012 at 5:50 PM. Oh,i agree.living with Alzheimers is like spinning plates, tight rope walking or riding a see saw.it always keeps us off balance and its so tiring! Keeping you in my thoughts.

Alzheimer's is a Bitch: Need to vent
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-to-vent.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I have one friend, a co-worker, who also lost a parent to Alzheimer's. We talked today at lunch, and it helped. People who understand are hard to come by. Seeing my mom-in-law and sister-in-law interact makes me jealous. I'm grateful to be included in the sisterhood on my husband's side of the family, but nothing replaces the friendship I had with Mom. Why not just go with it, and soothe her? Kiss her forehead, and tuck her into bed? I'm afraid for Dad'...

Alzheimer's is a Bitch: September 2011
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Sunday, September 11, 2011. And then all hell breaks loose. I posted this on my happy blog. Grief has widened my perspective. I feel like a funnel, taking in more than I have the capacity to contain. I move forward with open arms, vulnerable but receptive. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Mom to describe her symptoms, or for Dad to bring the doctor up to speed on Mom's medical history (doesn't dementia trump all? Links to this post. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I have...
