Bio

Just a regular gal, I'm 43, married way too long, one child in the nest, and Gram just moved in into our rural home in SE Michigan. So I've began full-time care for Gram who has Probable AD. Life is laid back, but not worry free and very lonely. I'm afraid of the future and the "timeline" of this monsterous disease and its progressive nature. Becoming a solid advocate to do everything in my power to complete Gram's request of me - to comfort her and ease any pain. Please consider me a newbie, a notch above a novice and an emerging AD caregiving expert - self taught (LOL).

I fear I am unable to complete Gram's request of me. With recent trouble brewing surrounding me and my granddaughter status with her children and the lack of support I find everywhere I am contemplating her move to either someone else in the family or a long term care facility. I'm exhausted and can't find support anywhere. We've been wait listed with Area on Aging in Washtenaw County, Michigan. Medicaid denied application due to lack of response - yeah right. I'm so frustrated and now Gram thinks she should live alone. What am I to do?

I blog my issues and such at http://lovinggrand.blogspot.com [blogspot.com].
