and I fell in love. ( Background music: "When I fall in Love") This man is 80+ years old with Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. He was brought in by ambulance because according to his wife he has chest pains. The man , because of his Alzheimer's never complained of any pain, in fact he was very pleasant and seem to be content when he was admitted to the coronary care. Also he doesn't recognize anyone other than his wife and he never wanted her out of his sight. If he is asked of something he pass the question to his wife. In the emergency department he was found to be having a major heart attack. It was a major one to the point that the doctors asked his family if they want resuscitation just in case. Despite that, there was no evidence of pain in him, there is some difficulty in moving around because he is a bit unsteady but we can still see him as comfortable, content and happy. Even though he never complained of any pain the wife knew there was something wrong so she rang the ambulance. There are some things here that amazed me so much. One is that there is this advantage of having Alzheimer or dementia because we will forget about any pain or any problem, totally. The other thing is, despite him forgetting everything he never forgot his wife. The wife also amazed me because she knew that he had the pain as if like she almost felt it herself and her superb dedication to him. They are truly like one body. I so fell in love with this couple. They are truly adorable. Don't you agree or is it just the hopeless romantic in me? “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Hello Iris, I agree it's a nightmare for caregivers but if caregivers look at it the way I do I believe it is the best way to go. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

That is indeed a true love and a rarity nowadays, true love I believe develop or get stronger overtime with lots of trust, patience, understanding, thoughtfulness and compromise. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
