Welcome to Litsy!

Wendy was, without a doubt, an extraordinary individual with many outstanding qualities. Her strength of personality coupled with her incredible drive, determination, and positivity in the face of what for lesser mortals would've been a devastating diagnosis is inspiring and humbling.

However, I was not in the right place for this...perhaps no more medical memoirs for me for a while...

I'm sure others would find this a source of hope.

While researching books about #alzheimers and #senility on Litsy, I found this title. I did not care for the reader of this audio book, she sounded high falutin to me (probably because I'm low maintenance West Coast 🇺🇸). But the book hit the spot. It had more to do with Patti's grief given the circumstances of her father's disease and her parents' lack of affection which I can relate to.

Montie Sunshine is recovering from having 11 teeth extracted! But the real purpose of this post is that I am looking for book recommendations for dealing with #dementia or #alzheimers
How to communicate and not get frustrated. I'm about to fly to Florida and evaluate if I need to take the keys away.

Alice is a brilliant Harvard Professor, wife and mother that has to face life with early onset Alzheimer diseased when she's diagnosed at only fifty years old. Alice's curse is the reader's blessing, there's no rush to move through the pages, to know what happens next, because sadly Alzheimer doesn't have a cure, doesn't have hope, you just have to enjoy every minute of consciousness until the darkness arrives. ⬇️

Faces of Alzheimer‘s and those that love them.

Sometimes you laugh with them, sometimes you cry for them. Most of all and most importantly, you love them through it.

This book gave me hope; I saw it on the library shelf and knew it was different from everything else I‘ve read about the disease. I felt it so important, I got my own copy and have saved the ReCODE website; I have shared the information with others. We know there are many contributing factors to Alzheimer‘s—but what if there was a way to hit back against every one of them? Amyloid forms in the brain but the brain isn‘t trying to attack⬇️

Certains diront qu‘il faut joindre l‘utile à l‘agréable, mais pourquoi ne pas joindre l‘agréable à l‘agréable… Parce qu‘ils ne sont pas toujours compatibles. Impossible malgré tout de laisser tomber cette magnifique brique bleue, qui éclipse la musique d‘ambiance, les mouvements périphériques des grimpeurs et les conversations parfois loufoques des autres usagers du centre.

Hi everyone👋I‘m still around, still breathing, just in the worst book slump of my life & honestly, a little bit of depression too. But I‘m fighting back & going to try and force a few chapters a day to get my book brain back into gear. Books are still coming in so if I don‘t try and read some soon, I‘ll either die under a book avalanche or the hubby will throttle me! So hopefully, I‘ll be around a bit more!🤞🤞🤞(my grandbubba jumping puddles👆)
