Blue Day
I was going to start posting again today. It's impossible at work now where I was able to do most of it. Today just wasn't a good day. My dad has early/mid stage alzheimer's and my mom has a brain injury sustained a year ago from cardiac arrest. She was my dad's caretaker, but now I have someone care for them in their home. I went over today and was trying to explain something to my dad but he gets confused and takes it wrong as though I think he is stupid. It's frustrating. I don't want to hurt his feelings. I want him to enjoy what days he has left here. I don't know how I could do it though knowing my brain was dying slowly. It sucks.

I'm sorry to hear about your parents illness. My mom had a stroke a couple of years ago and it took at least a year before she could talk "normally" again. I guess all you can do is what you're doing and always say sorry when he thinks you're hurting his feelings.
Best to you...my folks are almost 80 and my unvle and aunt are near death...aunt just had a stroke. Life's a vapor!
Glad to know Im not alone.
