        I’m sorry Adam.

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          I'm sorry Adam. I'm going through it with my grandfather - still going through it. It's a terrible disease to live with. The decline is really rough to handle. x.

            Before you start selling things and I'm sure you already feel overwhelmed:
            Check into the Alzheimers Association and see what they can do to help you out financially. There are a lot of resources to help you out clinically and financially. Alzheimers is the #3 most funded medical research in the country after HIV and cancer (maybe covid19 now, but that will be temporary)
            In a past life I worked in Alzheimers research (did my Masters thesis in early onset AD). My deepest sympathies, but there is a lot of help out there for you.

                Humbled by your response everyone. “Thank you” doesn’t begin to express the full gratitude I feel to have a community like this one where I can share both my best and worst days and everything in between. Yesterday was rough, but today begins again and I have to keep truckin somehow. Love you all. @sabergirl @Seul @Matty123 @Snowy @DougNg @Jett129

                  There is a lot of sticker shock with the cost of assisted care, but very few pay for it in its entirety.

                  When things calm down a bit, find some support groups. I know there are some big ones on FB. They will have a gaggle of ways to help. There are a lot of people with AD, there is a very robust support system.

                  Things are going to be tough, but you are far from unalone.

                    That sucks @adam313 . AD was one of  the factors in my Mom's death.
                    Doug Ng is on the money, there are a lot of support groups out there and please take advantage of them, it's easy to be overwhelmed by AD

                    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                    Well, I have others.

                      Will we ever learn that the planet we live on is a fragile place and needs to be treated with respect and care?….I thought that CV may have made people a tad more aware of that fragility.....

                              Honestly, the planet isn't fragile. It's been around billions of years and survived far worse than humanity has inflicted on it, and it will continue on after we go extinct. At this rate, relatively soon, and well deserved.

                                    Agreed. I look at like we had our chance and punted.

                                            Never saw that before. I've never really thought Carlin was funny. Insightful about how idiotic people are, which always made him interesting, though.
