More Progression

Craig has been exhibiting a lot more confusion lately. 

I have to literally put his pills in his mouth. When I suggest he drink the glass of water in front of him to wash them down, he gets very upset and yells "I am!" In reality he's just sitting there. Staring. I'm wondering even if his brain recognizes what it is. The glass is on his table right in front of him. 

 

As the day goes on, sometimes he snaps back. But not lately. Today Cindy took him to the YMCA to work out on the equipment and swim laps and she said that yes, he's been more confused. The exercise equipment, no matter how many times she explains it and shows it to him, is harder and harder for him to understand - if at all. 

These are only a few examples of the confusion that goes on all day, every day. 

There are uglier issues at hand that I don't talk about. Alzheimer's is an ugly truth. Believe me, I deal with at least a hundred "uglies" every day.

The look on his face has changed. It is more of a blank look. He struggles more with speech, struggles more how to eat, etc..etc..etc.. and sometimes he simply can not even try.

 

It's gone. 

He's leaving us. 

He is still the sweet Craig we all know and love. 

I hate this f**g demon.
