Living with Dementia

My wife Anna developed Alzheimer's in her early 50s. These are thoughts on what it was like day to day to live with dementia, for me and for her.

‘Go away!’ Anna was shouting.
The bin men come by on a Friday morning.
‘I want someone to tell them to stop. Tell them how awful it is.’
‘They have gone, Anna.’
‘Go away – don’t come back. They should tell people.’
For half an hour she shouted after them.
‘It’s a terrible thing, just after you …. Dust and dust. It’s a terrible thing to do. They don’t care about anything. Go away! Go away!’
Anna does grumpy old woman very well, I think.
