The Tragedy of Alzheimer's

Nobody knows what to do, including/especially the doctors, at least those I am associated with at Group Health. They have absolutely no idea what it means to go from A to B with an Alzheimer's victim, no understanding of what it means to get him dressed and into a car to take him to an appointment.

Too exhausted to go on with this, just to say he needs a hospital bed and we're waiting for one to become available, no thanks to his MD.

Thanks everyone for calling/emails/etc. Keep 'em coming. This is a most isolating experience for both of us.

Esther,
Have you thought of talking to a doctor at UWMC instead of GH?
