In this episode, I discuss the year leading up to my wife's eventual diagnosis of Alzheimer's. I'll share what we learned and how we arrived at that diagnosis in working with the doctors. I will also share how after receiving the diagnosis, how we as a couple and as a family dealt with that diagnosis. 

Continuing with our backstory…  About the year 2016 was  when we entered into moderate Alzheimer's stage and still didn't know it, because we had not yet arrived at a diagnosis. 

After firing our first neurologist, we started working with a new one. He began an extensive set of tests. I will discuss what  that was like for Shanna. In the middle of all this we had some life-changing events that added significant stress to the both of us.

After all of the testing was done we finally received our diagnosis. I will tell how it felt and what it was like to receive that diagnosis and then have to share it with our family and friends.

 I'll also point out what I feel are some key things that we decided back then that have really helped us in the years following the diagnosis.

Finally, I'll share a couple of significant lessons learned during that part of our journey that may be helpful to you.
