I have searched and searched for the health care lead Divvi (I believe) suggested. It was a site (NOT Craig's List) that listed potential home health care people. Can someone remind me what the name of that site is?
I know what you are talking about - it was a site on which people actually advertised themselves for job of health care aide. I cannot find it in the "search". The reason I did not put it up as a resource on the home page was because I cannot be responsible for someone on this site choosing someone to care for their spouse. However, I thought I put it in my "favorites", but it's not there either. Hopefully, someone else knows the web address and will post it for you.
Doncha sometimes wonder if we've caught a little Alzheimer's ourselves. I know I put things in places where I can find them, and then forget where I put them. I always prided myself on my organizational skills...and poof! I fear they've gone off and left me. I'm sure there is not a way we'd ever be able to know, for obvious reasons, but I have wondered how many caregivers of Alzheimer Spouses are diagnosed with AD themselves.
Alzheimer's Disease, in itself, is not a joking matter, to me anyway!...It's good, however,that we can laugh at AD happenings in our lives that no one else could understand or find the least bit funny!! (Divvi and her Poop Queen title is a perfect example) That's proof we're all a little bit nutty.
Son in Law called me this morning Nancy, and he had 2 things to tell me that pertained to amounts of money. I had 3 things I wanted to not forget to discuss with him, so while trying to remember my thoughts I forgot the money amounts he told me. I thought to myself, oh, no, short term memory...........Daughter was here a while ago and just a few minutes before she had forgot to get an important item at the drug store, so I didn't feel so bad. Frustrating, isn't it.
Thank you thank you thank you. - for saying I'm not the only one with fragmented memory. And now I feel better. We're too keen on MME's and remembering 3 things - and repeating them later. When I'm told to remember them. (newpaper, apple, table) I can. If it's a typical day, filled with everything we do..and someone calls me,...says "I'm returning your call from last Friday.." 50-50 odds are that I have to think about what it was I called them about.. I feel so stupid when I have to admit...I don't remember now what I called about...and usually after a little conversation, it comes back to me. duh!
