[QUOTE="Star*, post: 271168, member: 4964"] I was very interested this moring on GMA to listen to Maria Schriver about alzheimers. There is apparently a website /project through HBO about it. Kids are taking a notice and writing about it in their own way. Abbey - I know you think this is nuts but go to the news portion of this site and find my video post on help for autism with that exercise - grabbing each ear lobe and bending at the knees for 5 minutes. It's helping my Mom tremendously with memory retention - and hey - it's 5 minutes. I see where you mother in law is thinking you need to not get a job so she can keep running - (Shrug) well, if she pays as good as a job - why not? You could still write and maybe take your father in law to the cabin and have a lovely place to commune - he could fish. Maybe you could advertise for someone in Craigslist to go fishing - have a vacation day at the cabin - if they'll drive you both? Has to be some other elder person who would love to get out and go and do - and can drive - just has no where to go. My grandmother had alzheimers and I saw what it did to my poor Mom in the fact that you do, do, do and they don't remember you day to day. My gma remembered me though I was told she wouldn't. But then I had about 20 minutes of conversation with her that was clear as crystal...and the rest of the time watching her carry out what she told me she wanted to do - JUST GO. I hope this project helps raise awareness for this disease. Dementia just is such a horrible way to exist. Hugs for you my friend. [/QUOTE]
