This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

I have had two people yesterday and today tell me I am manifesting stress in my body. This is good information for me, as I am determined to handle this journey living with dementia without it damaging me. So, it is perhaps time to revisit how I am handling things. What I have in place: someone to talk to who totally supports me, exercise daily, good eating and sleeping habits, supportive spiritual practices. One thing I can improve is the level of fun in my life. I will be open to other ways to be in this living in a way that honors Dwane and myself.
