I'm so sorry you're going through this with Lynn. I can totally understand your not wanting to subject him to more testing. Really, what is the point of further testing except to pay the doctors for it?

I lost my Mom in 2005 and my sister in January of this year to Alzheimer's Disease. It's a very cruel disease because you have to lose them twice. I watched them both struggle with this disease.

I admire your strength and your courage. I know what it's like to try and care for and "reason" with someone who used to be able to carry on a conversation with you but who now just stares blankly at you. It's a terribly helpless feeling.

If you ever need to vent.....or just want someone to talk to.....please PM or email me. I don't want to impose on you but if you need a shoulder mine is here. It's been well used but it's still in pretty good condition!

Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.
