Thank you all for your support. P-G is such a warm, supportive place. I haven't been able to post much recently, but I do sometimes come on and read the threads when I need a break.
Sending hugs to Lisa, Cathy, Pearl Dreams, Pattye and anyone else who is going through or has been through watching a loved one decline. Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia are just so heartbreaking, and it has become a national epidemic. I know so many people who are going through this. It's really tough being in the sandwich generation, caring for parents and children at the same time.
