I am a person not a disease !
And you don’t have to raise your voice when speaking to me !
It’s not the end !
Having alzheimers wasn’t, isn’t the end, it was a bloody shock ! Well it was ,after the diagnosis, I thought I was slowly going mad before they finally told me .
but when the doctor sat us down to give a final diagnosis, it was actually a relief ! Can’t explain why , but the wife and I both smiled and said “we knew ”
two weeks later it kicked in, with a sledge hammer ! We all cried a lot that week. Then I thought that there are a lot of people worse off and decided to get on with it and adapt !!
You see ,it’s my family and friends I feel for, they will have to deal with it when I can’t !
They will remember when I won’t ! 😔😔😔😔😔
My life
Alzheimer’s !
Is it morning
Is it night
No, it’s The winter of my plight !
The spring long gone and the summer no more,
The autumn of my life before the fall !
