If Elbert had to stay on that medication how has it turned out over the years, I hope he did not have anymore terrifying accidents.I really think your posts on this disease should be seen by many more people who it could help.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-36648071614158374352009-03-17T09:20:00.000-07:002009-03-17T09:20:00.000-07:00You have done a beautiful job of chronicling your ...You have done a beautiful job of chronicling your life with Alzheimers. It is not something I am dealing with but something that is on my mind as my husband and I age. Our nine-year-old grandson is much like an Alzheimers patient. Profoundly retarded he can walk but not talk and needs help in all life skills. He, too, likes to have a loved one nearbyMartha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797951661712327698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-50921861904055459892009-03-16T19:32:00.000-07:002009-03-16T19:32:00.000-07:00LataneDepression can hit any of us anytime.

It wasn't at first but later after I had survived chemo I woke up one day and really didn't want to get out of bed. I got myself to the doctor pdq and he said that he was surprised that it had taken so long for it too hit. He told me that most people when handed an almost death sentence would more than likely become depressed and if they didn't - they were crazy LOL. Three years later I still take antidepressants and I am almost afraid to go off them. I think I have more stress in my life no with mom and dad than I did back then fighting for my life.<BR/>On a good note - the case worker was here today and I will ge getting some help. Not a lot to start with but it will be 5 hours more to myself than I had yesterday.<BR/>Keep smilin<BR/>Hugs'<BR/>NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-70389031898170154902009-03-15T18:24:00.000-07:002009-03-15T18:24:00.000-07:00I honestly don't know if I could have made it thou...I honestly don't know if I could have made it though my mother's Alzheimer's without the help of an anti-depressent.
