Healthy Living - January is Alzheimer's Awareness Month

Alzheimer's disease and dementia in general, are topics that are near and dear to my heart. I worked on an Alzheimer's/dementia unit of our regional hospital for several years and have learned first hand of the devastating effect of these conditions on both the patient and his/her family.
Knowledge is power, become informed!

My aunt suffered with Alzheimers for many years - she was diagnosed in 1996 and died last year 2011. It was so hard to see all the changes taking place and being unable to halt the progress of the disease. I did write about her quite a few times on Still Waters
She was able to live by herself at home with assistance for quite a while but then it became obvious that she needed a higher level of care.
Thanks for a good post - lots of information there
Take care
Cathy

About Me

Name: Monica

Location: New Brunswick, Canada

I have been married for many, many years to an amazing man in the world and together we have two grown children. I am a Registered Nurse and I first had the idea to start a blog for "older moms" when I started noticing a lot of blogs were aimed toward moms with young children. I applaud these and the help, companionship, information and support they provide and I still remember those days well.....well, most days I remember them well!! However, my kids are grown and I'm no longer in my 30's....or 40’s and some of the information I was getting was no longer relevant and some of the information I was seeking was not out there. I thought there must be others out there who felt the same... so, here I am and I hope I’m not alone!!
