What Day is Today?

Days of the Week

As an Alzheimer’s patient I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the days of the week. I am always a day or two behind or a day or two ahead.

Matters That Annoy You Now Diary of an Alzheimer’s Patient

As an Alzheimer’s patient I have noticed that matters that once did not bother me is now the driving force behind my annoyances. Patience in one of the personality changes that has happened to me;

Oh My I Forgot what I was going to Post-Oh Yes Memory Loss

How many of you have memory problems? As a dementia patient sometimes it becomes so bad you just have to laugh at yourself. Here are some of mine.

I was going out to dinner with my best friend. He was outside waiting on me to come out, sometimes it could be a long wait.
I had lost my house keys and was tearing up the computer desk hunting for them. My body decided it had to go to the bathroom. Stubborn me decided my body had to wait, I had to find those stupid, hiding house keys.
Well my body disagreed with my mind and the next thing I know I felt a hot liquid going down my legs and covering my panties.
Here I stand with pee all over me and my clothes, no closer to finding the darn house keys and him blowing the stupid horn.
I thought what a lovely, exciting, peaceful night I was going to have.
I go into the bedroom all covered in pee. I jumped back in the shower, and tried to take a quick shower,well…it was not quick.
I forgot I had used all the shower gel last time I bathed, so all I had in the shower was conditioner and shampoo. I knew if I used the conditioner I would end up laying flat in the shower with my feet straight in the air, not a pretty sight for a fluffly full figured gal like me.
So shampoo it was, I happen to look down at the bottle as I was just about finished and low and behold it was dandruff shampoo.
Well i guess that took of all the dandruff on my body. At that moment the water turned to cold and I stood shivering with no dandruff to be seen on my body.
I jump out of the shower and slide on the rug, thankful I did not hit the toilet, as the lid was up. I would not be a pretty picture naked with my head in the toilet bowl.
I finally found clothes all but my panties. While looking I found small ones, smaller ones, and extra small ones, now these will barely come up over my knees now. The ones I need are the ones I could hang outside and the neighbors would swear it was a flag of surrender.
Finally found all my clothes including the extra size panties and dressed.
I grabbed my purse and ran out and looked the door. Then I realized I did not have my house keys. I looked down and guess where they were all the time? They were in the door knob where I unlocked the door earlier.
Now do not get the wrong idea this is not forgetful, this is me and my dementia brain at work.

“My Story”

I remember the day I was diagnosed in 2009, extremely well. I was astonished at being told I had this horrific disease. The room felt as if it was reeling and I experienced the sensation of being punched in my stomach.
How could this be? My family has no history of any form of Alzheimer’s Disease. I thought I am too young I am only 47 at the time
I became angered, in denial and depressed at how my life would eventually turn out. Knowledge is the key to understanding this terrible disease and not giving up.
