General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Ann, sorry to hear your father suffers it too and that you live so far away - i'm right there with you (so to speak)! Do you manage to get back to visit?
I make sure I visit once a year and spend all my time with mum and dad, mainly to give mum a break from her routine of taking care of dad... the nurses do that now.
My family think it's easier living away b'coz we don't have to see him every day! Can't believe they said that but they did... I'm sure you disagree with that statement, just as much as I do.
The links that Chewy and Dave sent are great tools in ref to dealing with the disease - it guided me well this morning when I read through it - helped me understand better why my family are split right now. If you get the time, go ahead and have a browse, you'll be surprised.
