They do claim that the disease starts years ago. Unfortunately since there is no drug to prevent AD even if you and your dad had discovered it before it would not have really made any difference. I think for us as caregivers we need to believe that our mom's are happy. What else would we want to believe. It helps us with our sorrow. Please know that I am always here for you. Hugs to you and your mom.

I'm not sure anything would be different now if it was made sooner though. My dad kept her at home for as long as he could manage with my 2 sisters and me helping as much as possible. <br /><br />She's been in a memory care facility since November and is well cared for and safe-- when I'm asked "how's your mom doing?" I usually say she's doing about the same or she's doing ok, because really, every day is different. Some are good, some aren't as good and she is upset about her husband of 60 years not visiting for a long time (he visits daily but she thinks he's someone else). Some days she seems happier than other days. I'd like to believe she is happy, because then I'd feel better. I guess I'm not sure what to think as I'm usually still in some level of denial that this is the way things are now.
