We are in similar situations right now. My grandmother just moved in with us because she is suffering from dementia. It is so sad and hard to watch someone struggle with dementia. There are things that happen that just make me cry because it isn't right that her mind should be taken from her.

Hi Sandra - I'm so glad you found your way over here!
 I'm sorry to hear about your MIL's dementia. It's a cruel disease that both my Mom and sister suffered from so I know the challenges you're facing. Your MIL sounds like a very fortunate lady to be able to live with you. I hope you'll dive right in here....this place is awesome!! I was over at MSW, too, for a while.

Hi everybody,
I wanted to say hi to you all here too. I introduced myself on the intro thread but forgot to add that I had MS.DUH!!   I did go back and add that later. I was dx'ed with MS in april 06. My neuro believes that I've had it since I was very young. I have had vision problems since before I was 5yrs old. I remember when I had my first eye apt. The optometrist took out these binocular like glasses and put them on me.. ...Oh my gosh I was so scared that I was going to have to wear them forever! I remember he told my mom our color tv caused the damage to my eyes.  Of course my current Dr. said no way!(That was the new technology way back then) Yes! I'm old LOL... I recognize a lot of names from MSW. Some might remember.... I lurked more than anything.. I had some time to post, but as soon as my daughter started walking participating in any kind of thread was not happening, lol I type slow! Like 5 words a min.  And that added to my slow brain waves = HOURS typing one reply (no kidding)Hopefully I'll be able to get more involved now that she plays better on her own. Hope to talk you all soon... Jami |

In Remembrance

Welcome, Jami. I'm so glad you're here.
I haven't been to MSW in ages, so I don't remember you from there, but with my memory, maybe I do...LOL
