Has she met someone else or is there another person who your Mom relates well to? I am glad that you are able to use some of my information for your Mom. I was a bit shy at first but then I said to myself...what the heck, this is truth for me (how can a scientist argue with it) and for many reasons, Dave is managing to hold his own. So...I wanted to share my thoughts. I will be posting more next week. Hope you are doing okay, Warmly Holly Hi DeeDee,

I can say that people remark about how good Mom looks all the time, and I think it has to do with her own want/willingness to take Fish Oil capsules and a Centrum vitamin every day since (and before) she was diagnosed. She forgets other things, but never that. Unfortunately she doesn't get the amount of social interaction your husband is getting, thanks to you (and his great attitude to boot) and his best friend who goes to the gym with him. I know that when Mom's best pal at the assisted living home had to move to the dementia unit across the street, Mom started to noticeably decline and get a little depressed. Just some notes I wanted to add. Sorry if I sounded like an essay. I can be too scientific sometimes, but that is how I deal with what is happening to Mom. I like to read your advice and will try to make some changes with Mom as she is declining more, it seems. I think he sounds in wonderful shape relative to my mother.
