In today's episode we'll be continuing our backstory and talking about moderate stage Alzheimer's when we were both living at home and I became Shanna’s full-time caregiver. This lasted somewhere between three and four years. 

It was a time that was filled with many changes and adjustments. This was the time where my caregiver education and experience became  full-time and I learned many lessons along the way. A few years into this time period I started my “Our Alzheimer’s Journey”  journal. This is the opening line of the journal  “ This journal should have been started a few years ago, but I decided to start it now because I want to capture the feelings, experiences, and memories from here on out in great detail. “
