Caregivers?

My father had it and now my mother has it. Dad was sweet and gentle and so very afraid that he would become a burden. He had health issues that overrided the AD and ultimatley Mom put him in a nursing home which was his biggest fear. She did not like taking care of him with his special health needs and I had small children and was unable to take him in.

Mom is a different story. She is mean, bitter and spiteful. No one wants to take care of her. She pretends there is nothing wrong with her even though she takes her medicine wrong and does not follow any of her doctors instructions. She has paid help but will end up in the nursing home in a few years probably as I will not take her in as my husband would probably divorce me if I did. I have to take her to the doctor and then try to make her understand what is going on. I have to deal with her at the grocery store as to why she can't buy all the candy and ice cream she wants as she is diabetic. I have to deal with when she joins book clubs even though she can't see well enough to read. I have to deal with phone calls from her neighbors and friends when she does or says something mean or selfish. She actually called a friend to come tuck her in at night. She called her pastor at midnight to come pray for her and when he got there she was naked. The caregiver was asleep.

There is a very good book about this subject called "The 25 Hour Day" . Contact the Alzheimers Disease Foundation and they can help you with many resources.

Husband is going to be gone for work....what will I do?!?

This is a big change for you. Get a support system around you. You can create some new routines for yourself and your daughter and enjoy the days as family time when your husband can be home. Perhaps you could invite friends or relatives over to share dinner with you and Gracee one a week or so. There may be some community activities you can go to with your daughter, such as the story time at a local library on a regular basis so that you can get out and meet other parents and little ones. Some of the time you spent with your husband in the evening could be a wonderful time for you to pursue some of the interests you may be interested in, such as painting, needle point, taking classes etc. Don't forget to get a sitter on occasion to get a break from parenting for a little while, since you are now the caregiver 24/7 most days - go do something fun with other grown up friends or relatives.. And make sure you set up certain set time/days that you and your hubby have phone calls or instant message each other so that you stay connected. Share the good stuff from your day before you share the bad stuff. If you are a spiritual woman, say special prayers for what you need and ask angels to surround, connect, and protect all of you. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
