You all know that my life partner of over 35 years, Gregory, was diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer's Disease approximately ten years ago. http://mhorvichcares.blogspot.com
For these last ten years my life has continued to evolve but most often in the direction of being Gregory's caregiver; running two lives (his and mine;) learning how to cook (someone has to do it;) getting our finances, wills, trust, medical issues in order (get these things out of the way while you still can;) and trying to live life as close to normal as the big "A" allows.
I'll also mention that while I haven't been in any operas, we are still involved in tech rehearsals as a way of getting free tickets, Michael's Museum has taken a lot of time, we get out to a lot of theater and events, our social life and friends abound, I continue to write every day, etc.
I mention all of this to explain that instead of posting here with my personal writing, most of my writing has been about our life with Alzheimer's. It provides me with a way to share our life with family and friends as well as others who are dealing with loved ones who have been living with Alzheimer's. It also is a way for me to process what I am going through as Gregory progresses with this disease.
So be sure to check not only this place, where I am going to try to post more often, but also visit the Alz BLOG at the above link. P.S. Love getting your COMMENTS.
