Kadee, guess I got on the list just in time to be removed. My DH passed away almost one year ago. I just turned 67 and DH was 79 at the time of his death.
That is interesting Briegull. I would be interested in seeing the ages of our spouse's that have ALZ. I noticed that many of the ladies on here are much younger than their husbands. My Wife is 58 now. She was diagnosed at 56 and the doctor said she was well into the disease already. I just didn't know it was something that people that age got. I had no clue.
Kathryn is older than me by a month and a day most of the year. On Oct 25th she becomes a year older for a month and a day. I tell her that on Oct. 25 2011 she will be a decade older then me for a month and a day.
My husband was just dx in Feb of this year. He is 59 and I am 51. We have a 14 year old daughter still at home, she brings so much joy to me just when I need it most. I have been coming here for the last 4 1/2 months and would not have made it this far without your help. Thank you everyone for being here.
I am 80. Had to give up and place DH in July 2010. He was first put in a "skilled nursing unit" but now he has been moved to a dementia unit. Really much better for him. I visit every day.
