Hello Rhonda, Anne here, I am concerned about you, and your roller coaster
ride. You are not alone , and we are here to help in anyway we can.I asked
you to get in touch with the Alzheimers Assoc. in your area and or write to
me and and I can get you some help.
In regards to NOT wanting to put your husband in a wheelchair, maybe that
would be better for Him, and give you easier access to getting around with
him.
I wish you would email me at lesanne@... and I can help you walk
this long road.
There is help out there, and it is just waiting for you to ask.
Love Anne

Hi Ed,

Thank you for your encouragement. This is an emotional roller coaster for
sure.

I'm trying to find something to engage my husband to prevent him from
sleeping so much. He's weak and can hardly walk. I don't want him to be in
a
wheelchair. I can't lift him so it's frightening to start having the
thoughts that
this is getting beyond me. I'm only 49, I should be physically strong
enough
to do this.

Thanks for your encouragement.
Rhonda
