I thank God for people who have a sense of humor. Jan has always had a great sense of humor and the good news is that on most days I can still find it. Even when she can't communicate what she wants to say and even when things are very difficult for her, we still have a sense of humor. Without it I don't know how I could get through the day. Sometimes it's comments about the dogs, or something on TV, we still seem to find ways to laugh. We just passed our 5 years with her phychologist and that's hard to believe. As you should know once it's diagnosed your usually in the later stages. Upon her diagnosis and per her mental testing 5 years ago, she was in trouble. Hard to believe it's been 5 years.
Each day signs of problems with her eyes become evident. Hallucinations are a possibility too. The ability for me to leave the room or to go outside is becoming more complicated. She loses me when I am in the next room. Hard to believe that, but it's true. It was just a few months ago that I could go get groceries and she could handle being alone for a short time, but not now.
This is Max and he is Jan's dog. He helps her more than he will ever know. He knows that there is something wrong and that she needs a little extra help. Sweet dog.
You got Max at just the right time and even then, he was Jan's dog. So glad he's so helpful with her now. Again, thanks, Don for keeping us informed on Jan. Love and prayers. Linda L.
