Default getting to know each other

Hi, I'm JoJo6. You can leave the 6 off.lol

I'm here because my MIL has Alzheimer's Disease. She has progressed to the point of us having to place her in a Nursing home. I still do her laundry, just because thats about all I can do for her.

Mr. Jo is so devoted to his mom. I see big tears in his eyes when I ask how she is, I stop asking and wait for him to tell me. Sometimes never. Like the time she socked him and got hold of him and wouldn't turn loose because she wanted to go home with him. They had to about drag her back to the day room. Mr. Jo never did tell me this, his uncle told me.

Anyway MIL lived with us a long time, I got to the point where my health was shot, and she was worse every day.

Well, that is enough about me. Welcome to all that would like to come in.

Dr.John has much information on his site about Alzheimers. The link is under his name. He is a good man for making this forum. I just hope people will use it. It would have helped me 10 years ago. I'll leave a light on for you.

I care, JoJo
