Alzheimer's SUCKS!!!
As the annual Memory Walk gears up here in Dallas, it causes me to reflect. This year, I am reflecting on how Alzheimer's has ruined my life. Having not one, but TWO grandparents striken with this dreadful disease seems rather unfair. Whats that? Life is unfair? Yes, I know this. But until you have answered the exact same question no less than 20 times, been called "honey" because they cant remember your name, or had to administer medication to someone who does not believe they need medication then you cannot fully understand the meaning of "unfair". I miss my grandmother every single day. Though she passed away nearly two years ago, I have missed her much longer than that. In reality she left us about 4 years ago to be honest. I hate Alzheimers. I really dont like talking about Alzheimers. But it keeps getting forced down my throat. I love Grey's Anatomy. Yet, when I need it least, they include Alzheimers in their story line. Dont they know that whenever my mom forgets her keys or I cant remember why I went into a room I am TERRIFIED that she or I are next. It is scary. I hate it.
