My son took me to a Chinese Buffet last night while my sister Mommy sit. It was great. I ate to much. But the pain and suffering that came later was worth it.
Mom's nurse and aid have already been here this morning so the rest of the day will be routine. Lunch , changing, nap, changing , supper and bedtime. Not much but seems to take up most of the day. If we could leave the diaper changes out it would not be a bad day. Who would of thought mom changed my diapers and now I am changing hers. I bet mine where much sweeter. LOL!!!

Hi Karen,

David's Alzheimer's isn't as far along as your moms, but I know the bathroom issues will happen sooner or later, and I'm not looking forward to it, but who would......
Alzheimer's is so awful!
I hope you're having a good day!
i can't imagine having to take care a grown up baby - hats off to you! your mom should be proud to have a daughter like you.
