This isn't really a question but I wanted to share this with you kind people.

I am a part time customer service rep and I was speaking with a customer one day, and I solved her problem for her. After I solved the problem, we got to talking and I told her about my mom's dementia and she told me that she had gone through the same thing.
After a few days, I received a book in the mail (paid for by her) and I'd like to "pay it forward". The book is a Johns Hopkins Press health book and is written by 2 doctors who are highly qualified in the field of Alzheimer's and dementia.
The book is called The 36 Hour Day and is a great guide for care givers. I highly recommend it. You think you can find it on Amazon or perhaps a local bookstore.

Hope it's cheap I gave up my job to take care of two dementia patients.

NYDCGal, I'm so sorry about your dad (and your mom). Dementia is probably the toughest battle I've had to go through and it doesn't get any better. Please try to get the book. I refer to it every day, in dealing with my mom. Good luck to you.

Thank you for the recommendation. My mom has dementia and my dad was her caretaker but my dad passed away recently. Now the care is up to my brothers and I but we are at a loss on how to handle things.

Thank you for that recommendation. How kind of her to make that suggestion and for you to reciprocate. I will certainly check it out. I need all the information I can get.
