Health

My college friend is going through early dementia in her mid-sixties. Combination of hereditary Alzheimer's and three separate treatments of chemo (giving her chemo brain). She can still remember certain people and events in her life, but gets frustrated when she can't.

Her sisters have removed her from her home and she is now living with an aide in a "pool house" that's on the property of one of the sisters. The building has heat, A/C, a sauna, a kitchen, cable TV, a bathroom, a bedroom. She hasn't tried to leave (yet).

Her sisters take her to doctors' appointments and for chemo. They have altered their lives for her without complaint.

It's hoped that they can keep her at home for a few more years.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It takes more than love. It requires devotion to do the right thing at the right time. And even then, you're not certain it was the right choice.

Blessings to you and your husband.
