I was gone for a week working on the trailer in Merrickville for my wife to get some help from my daughter to help me care for her.. When I get beat. I was hoping I go take a week off and get a break. How-ever it may be to late she is slipping away on me much sooner than I had would have thought.. My week there with her while working on securing the trailer to a prepared site at my daughters takes some time to dig the top-soil off and pack it with sand and crushed stone , wiring plumbing, septic , and all the stuff it takes to make it easy for her. She can't get up and down stairs so we have to build a ramp with a hand rail..It all takes time ..I need to go back in a couple or three weeks to get it finished and buttoned up for winter.. I am doubtful at the moment if she ever be able to go there. I will keep hoping and asking for prayers from believers for her. This a really rotten disease that eats up her brain..and damn it's hard to watch somebody you love turn into some-one you just don't know and they don't know you or your family anymore. She is not quite that far yet but I am shocked how fast this is changing over the last couple months now..it's very tough I can tell you...Thanks to every-body here for understanding my absence occasionally here. Hopefully I will have an internet connection at the trailer as soon as I can run some ether-net cable.. to the trailer maybe next trip..

I am not religious so can not say prayers for you guys.but I will be thinking of you and hope that you have the mental and physical strength to carry on with the task you face.I can not imagine the agony you are going through. your brother from another barry
My Daughter and her family live in Merrickville , Daughters are way better with helping mom in these situations than sons..and I need some help.. But Diane is slipping away much quicker than I ever would have thought.. So it may an exercise in futility.. She may never be able to go there.. We will have to just see how it all goes.. It just may be a place for me after all this.. Who knows .. but I need to have hope and keep myself busy doing things that might help.. or I will just get to bummed..gotta keep looking forward....

One day at a time Chuck. Can not imagine the stress your under right now with all the work and changes to the trailer and you need to spend time with her. Big task for sure. Always available to lend an ear if you need to talk.
You and Diane are in our thoughts Chuck. So sorry this is happening to you guys. Cant imagine how difficult it is for all of you.
All Art and I can offer is a shoulder, an ear and maybe a couple laughs when it gets really tough! You haven't spent this many years together and taking care of each other to not do all you can for her now. Take comfort in that. Be kind to yourself!!
Thank you.. this is a great place to share some stuff when I need a little support and I will probably need a bit from time to time.. It can get lonely out here..Seems a bit strange to share my life on a forum. But I consider many here friends and it's a great place to share my frustration when I need to. I believe many have struggles and need friends to help with emotional stuff .. just getting it out and talking helps to release the tension and frustration that builds up inside a person. I just finished unplugging the toilet as my dear wife thought flushing all the vegies from the fridge down might be a good thing.. But it was not a good idea.. Some of the vegies went soggy and inedible while we were away. So some time through the night she flushed them down and plugged the pooper.. If it wasn't such a "POOPY" job It's almost funny.. I can laugh about it now because I just got unplugged...... Still have to wash the floor and all around but we are ready now for all the fruit not..I am sure she does not have a clue what she did..I wish she would learn how to fish and sand cars..
