Doing Better

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with dad on Friday after his colonoscopy. He was in the highest spirits I've heard him in months! His doctors gave him a excellent, "Clean Bill of Health" and told him his GI track is completely well and healthy. So he can now go back to eating a normal diet and not have to worry. Hopefully he'll put some weight back on and maintain a good, high fiber diet.

On another note, I wish more of you would post. It seems Dean is the only one who has joined so far. Cindy said she did, but I haven't recieved her "New Member" notice from the web site, which is automatic to the administrator (me) whenever a new person joins. She may still need help with registering. If it's not too much trouble Dean, could you shoot her an email and see if you might shed some light on that for her?
Thanks. Keep in touch.
Joe

Another resource

Hey all,

I found another very good resource. It's the Alzheimer's Association and their web site. I got a booklet in from one of the Alzheimer drug reps. It's great. There are more good resources like that on their web page. I suggest you all at least get a good booklet on Alzheimer's (like one of these) and read up on "caregiving". I also saw that they have videos. I think dad might benefit from watching the videos. I'll try to order a set for him. Check it out & let me know what you think.
