Alzheimer's and Me
by Mary Grace Patterson → (All Poetry by Mary Grace Patterson)

A small attempt at Irish humor and what it is like to live with Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's is with me each and every day! It entered my life years ago, and is here to stay.

It's there when I awake, have breakfast and take a coffee break.

When I go for a ride in the car,I might get lost, so I don't drive very far.

Some days are good and my short term memory lasts , but when I get upset it leaves my mind really fast!


I read and write, keep my brain busy all the time. I am still able to count a bunch of dimes.

I'll keep on trying to do my very best, Because, Alzheimer's will not take me to my final place of rest.

Your poem sounds as if your mind is still sharp. I understand that continuing to exercise your brain is good for it. My father had dementia, probably caused by a series of strokes. I'm glad you're still writing.

Keep writing everyday and your mind will be sharp. You can beat this.

Keep that mind of yours cranking away every day. If you can't remember it, let Google look it up for you and then you will remember and reinforce that thought. So glad to see you actively writing and posting again.

A poem a day will keep Alzheimer's away? I certainly hope so.

Good for you! I'm so impressed with your positive attitude! And the fact that you can express this in such a funny and poetic way proves that your Alzheimers is NOT beating you! I wish you all the best and YOU GO, GIRL!

That is the ticket.
Laughter, brain activity and a great attitude towards life and all it throws.

Keep on keeping on, Mary.
