Alzheimer's is one of the world's most frustrating conditions,
deceptively destructive, maddeningly complex, and one that
outsiders rarely see. In relating the history of an ordinary family
side-tracked by it, the author presents a literal textbook of
myriad emotions, fears, and joy, confusion, sadness and humor,
failure and triumph; as well as delving into Alzheimer's elusive
medical and physical symptoms that mystify everyone. She brackets
her poignant story with startling Alzheimer's statistics; warning
signs of the disease; and a checklist of what needs to be done at
the first suspicion of the illness. After ten years of caring for
her husband, the author opines that any caregiver for an
Alzheimer's patient must be able to labor like Hercules, have the
patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, the lightness of a
butterfly, the hide of a rhino, take the punishment of a
marathoner, be as gentle as soap bubbles, remain forever vigilant,
constantly alert, never sleep, dismiss one's own needs, eliminate
everything and everyone else, and have faith that the sun will
shine again. Other than that, she assures, there's not much to it.
