It was 94 degrees today, and has been like this for most of the month of June. We rely on A/C to keep us comfortable. A song by The Eagles or was it Don Henley...The heat is on...
When we returned from North Carolina Mom had the June 2007 issue of AARP Bulletin in which there is an article about "Closing in on Alzheimer's." There have been clinical trials for a new medication, MPC-7869 aka Flurizan. It seems to be giving back patient memories, improving quality of life. And Mom wants in on it.
I called the doctor's office. I figure if anyone will know, it will be Dr. G. The nurse said she'd look into it. She called the pharmacist and there was no listing for it. Gina asked me to bring the article to the office. I printed it out and walked it to the office, since I needed the exercise. But the office was closed when I got there, locked up tight. And it was only 4:14 on a day that they should have been open until 4:30. Oh, well.
Tomorrow is another day. Dad asked me to go up to make sure Mom gets her medicine and breakfast in the morning and on Thursday morning while he goes for physical therapy. I'll take the article with me and drop it off.
And we'll see if there is some magical something that will help Mom keep her memories until the day she dies.
