I feel like start running and not look back!

I just read the book Slow Dancing with a Stranger. Enlightening but not encouraging. Meryl Comer's husband died 24 years after being diagnosed with early onset ALZ at age 58 !! And she cared for him at home. Truly heroic.

I better not read it! Having to take care of him at home if he gets to the last stages and we can’t afford an institution is my worst nightmare, I just know that I wouldn’t last very long under that kind of 24/7 stress.
