Man I'd love the see a remedy for Alzheimer's. I wonder if anyone might do a distributed project for it...

My brother's wife's dad was a Pulitzer prize winner and an absolutely brilliant man, and it was very painful to watch such a brilliant man fall in and out of his brilliance due to the disease. Sometimes he would say amazingly astute, wise, and brilliant things, and then almost instantly fall out of synch. He was interviewed during the onset of Alz's on a PBS show many years ago and it showed in the interview, very sad to have such an admired soul talk in-congruently.

I am confident a cure will be found one day. I worry about this thing affecting me, because I have a absolutely HORRIBLE memory and already have a hard time focusing at times, at only 48.

You have my heart and prayers for you and your dear mom and thank you for being our mod and working all that you have. Keep your shiny side up and the greasy side down, may the Heaven's bless you all there!

But this is so wrong is so many ways. From the comments being made, it's apparent that no one even KNEW this was happening. Just because you are a "Mod" doesn't mean you can't use the "mojo machine."

You are going to need support and lots of it. Run; do NOT walk to your Local Alzheimer's Chapter. »www.alz.org/ You can find it there. They can help and give suggestions as to what to do and expect. Get involved. Don't try to take it ALL on yourself. I have heard of too many caregivers burning out from not letting other people help out. If someone offers to help(even if for an hour) take them up on it. You are going to need that time and it will become very precious to you.

Alzheimer's is a very hateful disease that robs a person of any dignity they have and it is hurtful to the loved one's around them. Just try to remember the good times, get the photo books out(to help you, your family and her) and stay strong.

My prayers and mojo are on the way for you and your mother. Don't forget we are here too. :)

Some Mods are seen and not heard and do great. You are one who's been around, participating, and yet - I am sure was an excellent Mod too.

I honestly think of you more as family. Ironically, I am maybe closer to Helix family than my Brothers and Sisters; at least when it comes to communicating. So don't become a stranger.
