Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi Courage,and all other friends at LBD caregivers Sorry I've been a little out of touch. I went to Toronto and was there for the entire month of August. It was great to see Dad and I spent a lot of time with him. His cognitive functions seem to have improved (thanks to Exelon, we think!) but his movements are a lot worse. He had 4 falls in one month, one of which necessitated an ambulance trip to the ER where they kept us the whole night, but thankfully nothing was broken: just a really big bump and a huge bruise. We followed up after two weeks with further x-rays and ultrasound and it was just a hematoma. I will post again soon, with details of my findings regarding his retirement home situation and also the various specialist visits. For now, I'm just writing to let you know that unfortunately I will not be around for the informal gathering in Toronto (I'm already back in Italy!), but my sister would love to attend (work schedule permitting). So please, let us know if the gathering will happen and I will inform my sister about it. I am sorry I didn't write from Toronto but we had just moved to a new house and we were not connected to the internet until mid-August, and then I got too busy with Dad and other numerous errands. But I will write again soon with a full report. Thank you, Shomy. > > Hi All, > > Wanted to check again to see if there is any interest in having an informal Toronto LBD get together?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 HI Doris, How about the 3rd or last week of September? If you know any other Toronto members who are on no mail can you contact them and let me know? Thanks, Courage Re: Toronto Meeting Hi Courage, Sure I'm still fine for a gathering. When will it be?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 HI Shomy, I will post details here as they get firmed up.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Shomy, It is good to hear from you and seems like you had good trip to Canada and your seeing your Dad. Bet it feels good to be back home. A month is a long time. Take care. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Re: Toronto Meeting Hi Courage,and all other friends at LBD caregivers Sorry I've been a little out of touch.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi Courage, I don't know anyone else's contact information. There is a support group meeting this week at the Alzheimer's offices, so I can mention it but it might be better if I had an exact date and place. So why don't you just decide on a time and place that is good for you and the rest of us can plan to be there or not. Let me know what you think. So far the end of September is okay. My sister is getting possession of her new house on the 26th and I will be helping her move, but I don't know what day(s) are involved. So just let me know what you decide and I'll plan around our gathering. Take care. And thanks for initiating this.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 , I think of you so often and wonder how you do it all. I had just my mom here and only for 10 months. I thought I was going to lose it a few times. I can only imagine with both parents at home how hard it must be. Do you have help? How about siblings? You are a wonder to me. I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 , I am very sorry to hear about your father. You sound strong, are obviously doing something right caring for you as well as both parents. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I hope somehow you can make it to the Toronto get together. I would if I could but I can't. > > > Subject: Toronto Meeting > To: LBDcaregivers > Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 1:02 PM > > > > > > > Hi All, > > Wanted to check again to see if there is any interest in having an informal Toronto LBD get together?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hi all, Heard from Corry and here are a few dates to consider: Let's try for Monday Sept. 22 at 1pm or Weds. Sept. 24, 1pm. (If those dates don't end up working then I'ld suggest sometime during the second week in October). (for forwarding) Our address is: 24 Phoebe street (near Queen & Spadina, and we're in a row of townhouses) * Phoebe street runs east from Spadina and is two short blocks north of Queen street. Tel. * Because of all of the one way streets in the area, it's tricky to get to and to find parking. * There's metered parking on the sides streets you'll pass such as Grange, Sullivan or on Huron street. * The best route is to go: - south on BEVERLY from DUNDAS - turn right at the first street you come to (GRANGE str.) - turn left on HURON (drive two blocks towards the corner of PHOEBE str., near our house) Thanks, Corry. Please let me know if this works for you and pass this information around to other Toronto members. Thanks, Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Courage, Kath send an email that she got my email about you looking for her. Hope you got a note from her. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Re: Re: Toronto Meeting Hi Doris, Yes, that will be the address we will be meeting at. I was hoping to hear from more people but so far no. I should send the info to Shomy directly too now that I think about it. Best, Courage Re: Toronto Meeting Hi Courage, Either of those dates and times is fine with me. Will we be meeting at the address that is in this message? Thanks Doris > > Hi all, > > Heard from Corry and here are a few dates to consider: > > Let's try for Monday Sept. 22 at 1pm or Weds.
