I gain hope with this article (excerpt below)






 My diagnosis of Alzheimers was diagnosed in Dec 2017.
Now about 4.5 years after I don't want to travel anymore.  
It's just too stressful for me.
Stress makes me feel depressed.

Ginger left for Greece on July 8, 2022
My wife will be home by 2 AM on Tues. July 26,  2022
 from cruise to Spain and Portugal.  

Total 16 days away.

Routine helps me do well on my own 
Keeps me content.
Ginger insists on having a housekeeper come twice a week.
She is also paying for a geriatric homecare visit 2- 3 times a week just to check on me.
My routine:

Sleep (very important)
1-I sleep a with CPAP machine from 9 PM till 8 or 9 AM. 
I take some sleep supplements. 
2-Melatonin to keep sleep times consistent.
3-Ashwaganda link
I try to sleep till 9AM.

Daily Routine
Morning TV. I have an 85 inch tv screen.
I like Morning Joe.  I "tape" it.
It's 2 hours long and I speed through the commericals. 

The 'Smart' TV is a boone as well as a bane
The boone part is that the picture on the screen is wonderful. 
The bane part is when I misplace the remotes.

After watching about 3 hours of TV while looking at my computer writing twitters and blog entries I develop some mild anxiety.

I then swtich to entertainment TV.
I own many DVD's.
I am 8 seasons into the series VIKINGS.

Meals
I have coffee and diet pepsi to put off breakfast as long as possible.  I fill my 8 cup water pitcher which I have no trouble drinking it all because of all the pills I take.  
I take my prescription pills first thing in the morning.



I start to make a Salmon sandwich for breakfast/lunch.
