Tack on diabetes, high blood pressure and CHF and we have a lovely mix.<BR/><BR/>Supposedly her dememntia won't be as drastic as Alzheimer's and seems to be exhibiting itself mostly in personality changes. She was never a truly affectionate woman, but now she can be downright nasty.<BR/><BR/>And then there are the days that Mrs. Hyde takes a walk and my Grandma is back. I live for those days. We joke and laugh and she's herself again. I just wish there were more of them.Shadowspunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303574435119285359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572206.post-1147649348466011032006-05-14T18:29:00.000-05:002006-05-14T18:29:00.000-05:00You may find this post of mine from last year inte...You may find this post of mine from last year interesting, or something. It's about my experiences with people with Alzheimer's.<BR/><BR/>http://anothermonkey.blogspot.com/2005/07/dont-get-old.html<BR/><BR/>Not just the post, but the comments as well, including a clarifying comment from me. Obviously Alzheimer's affects different people differently. Maybe my grandmother was lucky.D.B.
