Today, there has
been a great day for me. When I finished the day
at school, my grandmother picked me up as tradition. When I got
at my grandmother’s home, first my brother and I sat on
the dinner table and my grandmother served a big plate of rice and beans with a delicious bistec. We ate
too much as usual. Then my grandmother received a call
from my grandfather’s home care. About seven years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. At 56
years old my grandfather started to suffer this disease. The family
of my mom has been experiencing many
life changes related of this sickness. When my grandfather
started to lose his mind all the doctors recommended moving him to a home that
will help him with his disease. He in many occasions when he went to the
supermarket he missed many things that he will have to bring at home. The
Alzheimer I think that is the worst disease because you see all the process of
the sickness to a point that the
person does not remember either
you. One important thing that has to be
when a person has Alzheimer's is the union of the family because they all
have to accept the disease and
help where needed. One of the worst things is to remember that this member was in the past with you well and enjoying life
and one day that person forget everything and do not remember you. Right now my grandmother unfortunately is alone at her house and she visits
her husband who can’t remember
her. I will never forget the
grandfather I had when younger
and honestly I don’t wish this experience to
anyone. Wednesday, February 1, 2012
