Then came a stroke. The stroke damaged the part of the brain that affects balance. She spent a week in the hospital receiving physical therapy. I thought she recovered but looking back, realize the symptoms were there.
Does the family of Alzheimers patients always have that one defining moment. My brother-in-law called to say mom was sitting in her car outside her work and seemed so confused. She was wanting to go home but couldn't remember how to get there. She only lived 5 minutes from work.
My heart is heavy as I remember that night...because it was the starting point.
