Hi all
Been some time since i have been on. Mum is now on Aracept and is remaining quite stable, although within the last few months we have noticed a slight deterioration in her memory again, lots of repeating etc. We had a lovely christmas and all seemed good. When they came to me on New Years day dad pulled me to one side and said that mum had asked him where they had been for xmas. She could not remember any of it. He talked her through but then she asked where they went for boxing day. Its so heart wrenching when you think of the lovely time you have had and mum cannot remember any of it. It sometimes seems that this disease knows no bounds. I realise we are so much luckier than some, as mum is receiving medication but it is still so upsetting sometimes.
I hope you all had a good christmas and wish all of you the best for 2008. You are all in my thoughts
Take care
love Maude
