Is Anyone Considering Voluntary Brain Donation?
Quoting from the Columbia University website: "Our ability to understand how Alzheimer's disease affects the brain and causes debilitating memory loss, confusion, and eventually death, is dependent upon studying brain tissue."
Research is SO important. I'm wondering if anyone else is considering this.
You can find information at the weblink below (National Institute on Aging).

Didn't with my husband. But with Clyde that could be a thought for discussion. I doubt he would agree to it.

Have You Disposed Of Things Your Loved One No Longer Needs?
My husband has so many tools, clothes and things from his active life that no longer apply to his end-of-life journey. I included his hiking boots in a bag going out to the bin this morning when I saw them in the garage and my heart just broke. They were far too worn to donate and far too painful to keep around. Oh, all those wonderful hikes we took together, even to the top of the highest peak in AZ. I’m not sure how you all have done this, but hopefully I’ll have the strength to carry on.
I think my approach will be to start cleaning out things I no longer need. He seems to want to copy anything that I do. I know a lady or ladies must need professional suits and shoes. He also has many… read more
Meaningful Activities For Memory Card Residents
My parents are new memory care residents. What types of activities are your loved ones involved in that are enjoyable and stimulating?
As Barb4 said, that's precious. I can just see the two of you marching around😊 Maybe you should get some tambourines.
Once Confined To Bed How Long Did Your LO Live That Way?
I haven’t posted in a while. I was living in FL but brought my husband up north in May to be near family. He steadily declined, eventually losing ability to walk etc. He is now completely bedbound. He is incontinent and cannot feed himself. He has lost interest in eating and even getting him to drink is a challenge. He has lost weight now. He has that occasional smile or comment that makes me remember how he was. I hate to see him this way. Some days I wish it was over and I feel so guilty for… read more
We had hospice care for my husband for the last 6 1/2 weeks of his life. He had an episode of a-fib, and went downhill rapidly. Two weeks before he died, he started falling, so we put the side rails… read more
Has Anyone Used The Robotic Pets Or Lifelike Baby Dolls With Their Loved One's? S
My mom has latched onto a 3 foot high santa decoration on a stand. I need to find something smaller. The stuffed animals don't work for her.
My husband, a cat lover, had a robotic cat that I gave him for Christmas. He loved it, and most of the time thought it was real. We have a cat which he loved, but she’s not much of a lap cat, so this… read more
What About CBD Oil?
Has anyone tried CBD oil? I've had someone try to convince me she knows someone who made a miraculous turn around. (not cure, but improvement) I know it's reaching, but just curious if anyone has tried it, and what were the results.
thanks,
Sonia

Has Anyone Considered Donating Your Loved Ones Brain To Science?
I’ve researched online about donating my fathers brain for alzheimers study and its becoming a real possibility. This disease needs a cure and if my fathers brain could help in any way I think it would make him happy to know his pain and suffering wasn’t in vain.
I’m planning on it. I wasn’t sure who to contact but some of the previous answers have solved that problem.
Has Anyone Used The Robotic Pets Or Lifelike Baby Dolls With Their Loved One's? S
My mom has latched onto a 3 foot high santa decoration on a stand. I need to find something smaller. The stuffed animals don't work for her. The robotic ones I have seen are so expensive.
I couldn't afford any of the mechanized ones so I bought a baby doll at Wal-Mart for $10. She loves our baby Sarah.
