Please call your local alzheimers foundation chapter,Your local hospital, church or senior center. If you have friends/family/neighbors, Anyone ! Who can give you a 'time out',call them. I am a very strong, determined, Irish American nurse,who took care of my Mom for 10 years. NOTHING stopped me,until Alzheimers brought me to my knees.I didn't ask for help when i should have , and now I'm paying the price.Alzheimers is an exhausting and very isolating disease. There is help, there are groups, you MUST make time for yourself and get help. I assume you mean Ocean Cty near Tom's River ? if so , try your local group,and if no results, try the nycity or staten island chapters for a referral. I will pray for you both. God Bless and good luck.Let us know how you make out.
