Alzforum posted a review of the upcoming book Slow Dancing with a Stranger, by Meryl Comer. The book is about the harsh reality of what it’s like to care for a husband with Alzheimer’s Disease for 20 years. The reviewer notes:
As she cared for her husband at home, Comer became a virtual prisoner to the disease. The “stranger” of the title is Alzheimer’s, which slowly robbed the couple of their normal lives.
Comer’s husband developed early-onset AD with behavioral symptoms in his 50s. At first, of course, no one knew what was wrong. Getting a diagnosis took several years. Dementia care is not for the faint of heart.
