I went to a support group for Alzheimer's. There was a very belligerant man there who spoke harshly about his mother. Unfortunately he sat down next to me and seemed to direct his comments at me, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I said a few things, but one or two ladies were doing most of the talking. I hope next time that everyone will get a chance to speak. The facilitator was obviously tired that night and unable to let everyone have a turn. The support group I went to last month was more organized but the facilitator was trying to "solve" peoples problems for them. I think she should have just listened more. Anyway it lets me see other people who are in the same situation and how they are dealing with it.

We played Cribbage for three today. Dad says his eyes were itchy. Mom had to lie down after the visit for a few minutes because her back hurt. But she was fine earlier in the day and had gone to water exercise class. It is a pleasant day so I will go to community wide picnic at nearby Bolton Park for light supper. (I am writing this on Mom's computer but this message is from Cathy).
