Moving speech by Jenny Haas sharing her personal experiences with her father Gene who was a victim of Alzheimer's disease, at the Memory Walk fundraiser in Carson City Nevada
So true :( its not a funny old people thing...like cancer isnt funny, Aids isnt funny! Alzheimers isnt funny, but people dont see it until u go through it!
its not funny, but if you cant find something to laugh about its not helping anyone. sounds like there is allot of shit but if your just gonna bitch and moan. babies shit their pants all the time in public. you deal with it and move on. maybe have a laugh.
I was so moved. Very scary though. I cant emagine taking care for someone with alzheimers. That has to be the hardest job in the world. Heart breaking.
Jenny ;-) I can't thank you enough!!! I have been a caretaker for over 30 years. First my mom with Alzheimer's and now my sweet mother-in-law with Alzheimer's...you are so right..."Alzheimers IS NOT funny!". Doctors (specialists) don't prepare you for the stages or the advice as to best handle the progression ie; migrating your loved one with dignity to Depends as they become incontinent, handling hallucinations, chewing difficulty, showers, teeth...etc. We've learned many how To's and ? to ask
All I can say for those of you who think it's funny come and walk in my shoes. Both of my grandmother's have it, and I'm a 16 year old girl who has to change my granny's diapers because she doesn't know how to use the bathroom. My grandmother doesn't know who I am. I don't think that's funny.
Ahhhh, All those comments about how alzheimers is not funny, kinda makes me wanna do it.
Live a day without telling ppl about your life and what you think is right and wrong about this video, fucking polititians

I take care of 25 people with alzheimers. It hurts everyday to see them in pain, they need love and patience.. it isn't funny. bless your heart.
