Hi Punk Dizzle,

I'm very sorry that your father and your family are going through the pain that Alzheimer's disease causes. It is a terrible illness that takes an huge toll on everyone involved, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and every way... But try to remember that you don't have to deal with it alone. There are a many people who have been through it and can offer you support and advice. I don't know where you live, but there is probably an Alzheimer's caregiver support group in your area. The social worker at a local hospital could help you find one.

Having more knowledge about coping strategies, and having more support around you can help reduce the stress on you and your family tremendously. Site's like this one are also a valuable resource for finding information and sharing experiences with others in the same situation.

I don't know what else to say, except that my thoughts are with you and, and I hope that you find the strength to get through this...
