"When you get to a place where you're seeing the positive in others more than the negative, it means you're doing the same for yourself." Tut
My conscious orientation and choice is to see the positive in life. When I let that orientation slip, I find I am horrified to be at this point in my life with my husband in a nursing home. No matter how I "dress" the situation, it is very, very sobering. He deserves better, and so do I. It is so hard for me to see him go through the physical incapacity -- even more so than the cognitive at this point. Hard, hard stuff we caregivers deal with on a daily basis, and so hard for the loved one.

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.
