I am sorry that you have to deal with Alzheimer's as well. My maternal grandmother was stricken with it. I had always been closer to her than any other grandparent. Because of it, she was unable to attend my wedding. I think one of the saddest moments of my life was when I shared my wedding album with her and she had no idea who I was or who was in the pictures.
I hope you have a wonderful recruitment this time! Fingers crossed for you.
