Hey, condolences, CIC. God bless you for being a great son and honoring your mother in this way by telling us about her life.
BTW, my dad is 82 and has alzheimer-like symptoms. We're in the early stages here.
Gosh, sorry to hear that, Mr. M. The medicine got a bit better over time; there's a "new" one came available from Germany this year, turned out to be too late to do much for Mother. Might help your Dad, tho.And application of existing drugs, one of which seemed to produce a side effect of enhancing her strength and may have extended her life but certainly helped my quality of life as caregiver, and making it practical to keep her at home when I might otherwise have required substantial help or resort to a nursing home.
