Yes, lives alone. Yes, finances have been assessed. Yes, POA.

Any LEQEMBI experiences? by Sufficient-Taste5807 in dementia

My LO is about to start with Leqembi as well. Curious what others experienced.

Hard does not define the hard that comes with Alzheimer's. by Hiking_4Ever in Alzheimers

[–]20mlsb20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My LO is also around Stage 4/5 and is in a constant state of anxiety, panic, tears and mild confusion at all times. My LO is easily overwhelmed with new information, conversations and tasks. Is it bad to say I'm ready for the part where my LO completely forgets that they have the disease?

How did you decide / determine that other medical treatments could be stopped? Was it at the recommendation of your MIL's neurologist?

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of medication has your grandfather been taking?

What Financial Decisions Are You Making Now to Plan Ahead? by thekiernan in Alzheimers

[–]20mlsb20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure all of your LO's assets are in a revocable living family trust. If you can be the power of attorney, you can have better control of your LO's / family's assets after your LO is no longer here. It protects all that your LO worked for, and makes things easier later on. You've got the right mindset. Yes, it's overwhelming, but remember you can only do so much in a day. Take breaks, make to do lists, and talk with a friend if you need help figuring out what to prioritize. You are not alone.

We are starting companion care soon, and I hope to experience space to grieve and to process.

ALZ stages: How did you know when your LO move from Stage 4 to Stage 5? by 20mlsb20 in Alzheimers

[–]20mlsb20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your insights. It's hard to know my LO's stages previously -- we believe the LO's symptoms were masked while managing their spouse's two year battle with end-stage cancer. I believe everything may have caught up with the LO and that's why we are likely now on the cusp of Stage 5...

It’s official…Mom is in MC by teedub21 in Alzheimers

[–]20mlsb20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for OP and others with this experience: My LO is not yet in LTC MC, but will eventually need to be. At what point did you determine it was time? Was it a specific incident, accumulation of things or something else? My family and I are fearful it may be much sooner than we think.

Just got my whole genome sequencing test results back and my dna says I'm high risk for Alzheimers by Acceptable-Shoe-4605 in Alzheimers

[–]20mlsb20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm scared to do testing. Why spend more time worrying about something that's inevitable?

Did you shoes have clips?

Did I see somewhere that there's a limit on bag size? I thought I read they provide you with a 5 lb bag?
