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.

We have been having a very quiet time. A friend reported Anna as saying, ‘I’m driving Tim mad,’ But when she asked her about it, Anna, denied it, saying it was the friend’s thought, not hers. Anna is much more relaxed now, with carers that she knows. Madinah was back at the weekend., and another carer who likes Anna – ‘She’s a lovely lady’– and Anna likes a lot.
I have two simple tests – if Anna smiles when she see the carer, that’s a good sign, and if I hear the carer laughing, then I can relax. Let’s keep it simple.
