Bensgal, I'm a tea drinker too. I like strong Assam team. We have several members caring for a partner or parent with Alzheimer's. I encourage you to read some of the other Alzheimer related discussions where you'll meet @IndianaScott @donnajane @lindabf @nanax2 @rmftucker @sallysue @kmkm @tavi @caregiver49 @macbeth @tsoy @annie33 @tntredhead @julz and others.

Here are a few discussions that will be sure to interest you.
- Caring for someone with dementia / Alzheimer's http://mayocl.in/2ccA0jO
- Dementia Anger Issues - bathing http://mayocl.in/2g0Urkt
- Husband with early Alzheimers -question http://mayocl.in/2fd7gbG

Caregiving is a round-the-clock job. Bensgal, do you have a little something that you do just for yourself? Tea, reading, exercise?
