My parents now have a bell on her door so that if she leaves it rings in their house to let them know. <br />She told my mom one day she was going to look for a job and my mom said, 'you ain't no spring chicken! No one is going to hire you!' We laugh because what else can you do? Cry? Yeah, we do plenty of that too.Briannahttp://www.pocketfulofplaydough.pageek.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786763185255891553.post-69982861762399170582011-04-09T08:35:53.402-07:002011-04-09T08:35:53.402-07:00i live with my wife who has Alzheimer. we live in ...i live with my wife who has Alzheimer. we live in our home for now, but the medical bills are taking our home. i don't know how to tell you just how bad Alzheimer's is on the love ones. for the most part the person with it, does not know that there is any thing wrong.<br />thank you and god blessRoy Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834208730553747847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786763185255891553.post-91037852761070246362011-04-08T12:41:39.925-07:002011-04-08T12:41:39.925-07:00My grandmother never left, but she threatened to a...My grandmother never left, but she threatened to a number of times and opened the door more than once.

She managed to get the phone reconnected on her house so that the two could live there. They had a cab waiting out front of the home, and they had made it out of the safe zone just into the foyer before they were discovered. Their plan almost worked! Funny and scary. They had ankle bracelets after that as well.Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786763185255891553.post-82037311148094678112011-04-06T04:09:17.670-07:002011-04-06T04:09:17.670-07:00This sounds virtually identical to stories about m...This sounds virtually identical to stories about my friend's mum who also has Alzheimer's.
