Patience is a virtue with Alzheimer's

I never knew that I could have so
Much patience. Its been 5 days of non- stop pampering an older couple, one with Alzheimer's and the other with heart failure. The wife's issues and medical breakdowns are due to her not understanding the disease and side effects of Alzheimer's. She wants her husband back not the annoying man that sits in front of her, that asks the same question 10 times in the less then 2 minutes.

Living with someone who has Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia can be overwhelming and stressful. But we have understand that
People don't choose their illnesses and that we need to cope with all the diseases throws at us. We have to be mentally and emotionally fit to fight
Back the monster, but in a matter of not irritating the recipient because he does not understand his surrounding.

So with all that being said I want to say its been a hard task for me this week, but I have learned to be more patient and more aware of the struggles that families go through
With this cruel disease! May the lord
Give guidance to all families who are
Struggling to fight!
