Hey ya'll

I know it has been a week. When I use to get on the computer I was at home all day by myself, now my grand daughter is living with me and I don't get on the computer as much or any most days. Besides I had a few days where I slept. Either because I stayed up all night or was tired, from what, nothing. Just tired. Today Jesse and I cleaned up and rearranged my little get a way room and I found the following article that was composed by people in the early stages of dementia. I am sure it probably came from one of the support meetings. Anyways here goes....

Please Talk With Me

• Please take a little more time and have patience
• Don't fuss or make a big deal about my memory
• I may remember, please give me more time
• Don't turn your back and ealk away- that really hurts
• Talk slowly and don't rush me
• I do not want pity
• Don't always assume that it is due to Alzheimer's
• Keeping busy makes me feel better
• People with Alzheimer's are able to have really good days
• I do not see Alzheimer's as the end of my life. Rather, it is the beginning of a new era in my life

I find people sometimes go over board one way or the other. Meaning they either don't see me as having any thing wrong or they think I am further gone than I am. Just accept me as I am. Have a good week and I hope to get back here sooner than this week. I have a busy week though so we will have to wait and see.
