“Ill fitting dentures are the center of our world here, and I have gone bonkers trying to find things Mom would eat”….. By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer’s Reading Room I continue to believe that one of the most important features on this blog are reader comments. I believe that Alzheimer’s caregivers can benefit from the advice, insight, and tips that often appear in the comments below an article. In addition, readers often talk about their day, experience, or how they are feeling at any point in time. Other readers take the time to respond. I learned that it is impossible to know how you might be feeling at any given point in time as an Alzheimer’s caregiver. Intra-day changes are not unusual. I find that the comments frequently give me a boost, or at the minimum remind me I am not alone. Under the article — Reader Seeks Advice — Nutrition, Dentures, and Dental Care — there are several reader comments that I believe are both important and helpful. The one by CJ Wright got me thinking about the right now and the future. CJ Wright wrote: “Ill fitting dentures are the center of our world here, and I have gone bonkers trying to find things Mom would eat”. I admit I laughed (not at you CJ) when I read those words. If we had a nickel for every time we all went “bonkers” we could probably sponsor the research for the “big” treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. CJ then went on to share excellent tips on nutrition and protein. Not only did she mention the products she is using, she also described her methods of getting her mom to eat them, and how to prepare them. She mentioned how she divides one drink into 2-3 servings. It was at this point that the light bulb went on in my head.
