Let's become survivors.

No, Dichotomy in Death isn't the newest JD Robb futuristic thriller. It's the subject of a discussion I've been having on and off via text all day with one of my friends. Her grandma just died. Today marks 4 weeks since mine had her (ultimately fatal) stroke (tomorrow is the 4 week anniversary of her death) so death and dead grand...
From my sister Madeline the other day on facebook_ "Today is March 6th. 25 years ago today, my mother left this earth and moved into heaven. She was 69 (5 days short of her 70th birthday) and I was 29. For almost the last 10 years of her life-she did not know who her children were. She lived in a very good nursing home with wonderful care. W...
It included a code for a prize. I got a filtered water bottle. Not sure if it will be Alzheimer's Association branded or not but it was a nice gesture. I didn't expect anything, honestly.

I've had a couple of weeks to think about my grandma dying and I've had to tell a lot of people. And I've found that their sympathy is almost unwanted because the more I think about it, the more it's okay that she died. It's not that I don't miss her--for instance, today I saw a friend of mine; he's an artist who is helping me with my n...

Hello everyone . I finally have my internet back. It has been a busy few months. Got a job, quit it , got a new job , broke up with my boyfriend, and now we are dating again. We went to fast the first time so taking it slow this time. Dating is fun. And I do love him. After years of caring for mom I tried to go back to driving a transit bus but tha...
Was watching Fox News the other night (because I watch Fox News, and I am not ashamed) anyway they had an AD special on and were talking about Glenn Campbell. He of course has AD and is still touring. It was wonderful to see. Music is fantastic, it permeates the temporal lobe and the memory long term and the personality. It soothes the soul. It see...
Last night I was not a good granddaughter. I'm not perfect. There was a flash mob at a local bar for my high school class and I went. I was only going to stay an hour and I didn't get home until midnight. A lot of people knew about my grandma from Facebook and gave condolences. I was still sick too. But I missed the f...
You know your family has been using the same funeral home too long when you call and they know who you are. "Oh honey you sound terrible, take care of yourself. Go back to bed." I'm still sick as a dog, this isn't right. Went shopping with mom for funeral clothes and spent $30 at Wal-mart on ginger ale and various cold remedies.&...
When we got to the hospital yesterday, my grandma was in ICU & they initially said only 2 people could visit her at a time, and then they allowed my husband in also. My grandmother was totally unconscious, IVs in both arms, breathing tube in, monitors hooked to everything. She actually didn't LOOK bad--she wasn't blue around t...
I was awake at 3 a.m. and beyond this morning. I was sick, I've got a cold and an ear infection. First thing this morning I rescheduled the cats' vet appointment so I could stay home all day and just be sick in bed. (And I called the doctor about my ear.) Moments later, my mom called me. She said she had " bad news " ...
