Hi Nancy:
I know what you mean. My mom has the disease quite bad. She doesn't really know me any more and also can't take care of herself at all. Quite sad. My Dad is a model of faithfulness. Basically he has sacrificed everything to taking care of her. He does have a neighbor come in every day for 2 hours to sit with her but he is doing everything else.
Apparently alzheimer's disease is hereditary but I read somewhere that it passes a long the lines of same sex. From Father to son or mother to daughter and so on. I take comfort in that and hope it's true.
My wife and I eat fruit & veggies pretty much every day. We drink quite a bit of juice too. We are blessed here in Hawaii to have access to so much great fruit at good prices (sometimes free even).
Sorry to hear of your liver and stomach trouble. I hope you can get rid of that soon.
By the way I have some avocados ready for you. Will you be coming to the swim meet at Richardson't on Sunday? If so I can bring you some.
