I am wondering if every one here has gone away!

I don't understand...my connection is nothing near what I am experiencing. Is anyone here at this date? 2021.

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Sorry you have to deal with this too. For some reason, things have slowed down quite a bit recently. I have no idea why, but I expect it will become more alive soon. Hang in there.

I should have added, if you are looking for a lot of traffic on a forum, there is one on facebook.  You can search for dementia careblazers to find it. There is a huge amount of posting there, but I find this forum to be more to my liking because I feel more connected to the people here.

Fighting the vaccination priority is going on in a lot of states. My governor, Florida, put health care workers first and then the elderly next. CVS and Walgreens are giving shots to people in NH and ALF. This includes employees also.

Hi Clarkfla,

I just went into the chat room and read your messages. I took care of my DH at home for 5 years caring for him was fairly easy the first 4 years. When he got to the point I was not able to give him all the care he needed I had Home Instead come in twice a week to help. The last 6 months I cared for him at home I was taking him to his Doctor weekly for check ups. Not only was the Doctor keeping track of his decline he was also making sure I was staying healthy. The Doctor saw that I was not only tired he knew I did not have the strength to continue giving him the proper care. The Dr did not ever say he thought it was time for placement but as soon as I asked the Doctor he told me he though for my DHs sake and mine placement would be the best thing to do. I respected the way the Dr handled this I think he was waiting for me to ask.

The Dr said he knew I was getting close so as soon as I asked he handed me a package of information he had put together for me with all the information I would need for placement.

You will get a lot of help here just take care of yourself. Hugs Zetta

Hi,

 We're all here.  I tried the chat rooms a few years ago but they went too fast for me.  I'm more laid back and just found I couldn't keep up.  Maybe you'd like the forum better - someone's always here and ready to answer.

Dear Clark,

I find the Spouse or Partner Caregiver Forum of the Alzconnected Forums is perfect for me. 

I read almost every posted topic and everyone who posts in the topic.  I check for new posts in a topic every day.  I recognize individuals, and I am moved to tears, to laughter, I feel so much empathy and I know that I'm learning things I need now and I will need in the future.

Welcome!

Love, Elaine
