robert i also want to tell you what a wonderful,caring supportive man you are. its not every man that would give up his lifes work,career to care for a spouse with ad.
then to keep her busy and interested, the traveling you do is putting your self in even more intense caregiving stress.
a lot of the people on this thread have not had the oppertunity to know you and the abundence of research you have done to better care for maryann.
the ladies here would be amased at how well groomed and neat,up to date
looking you keep ma.i sulate you. i personally do not know how you do it.
there would be days on end i could not even change robs cloths, try as hard as i did there were days he looked like a hobo.

Robert,
