Progressive Illness such as Alzhimers, cancer ect

Welcome to my Blog. I have started this blog as a way of meeting people in similar situations. My wife has a progressive disease that will eventually completely disable her. I have found it hard to find people willing to talk about this situation. If I can find others in like situations I am hoping to find people who understand. I tried a support group and all I got was offer for a piece of ass, no I didn't act on it.
Since Maribeth got ill her friends and family have disappeared. It is very difficult for people to be around Maribeth because her conversation, no matter how hard she tries, is incoherent. Plus her mood swings are dramatic. She can go from loving and caring to mean and hateful at the drop of a pin.
Am I whining? Hell yes. That is why I am doing this. It is my release and if someone sees it great, If not still great because I feel better.
Maribeth was a life long secretary. Her last job at Sickle's High School in Tampa was great until she was let go due to illness, no disability, thank you HCSB. The kids love Maribeth, we have tokens and gifts from the kids here at home. In fact we have 2 paintings a student from Haiti did for her. I will take pictures of both and post them. Out of space more later
