1. Kathy Hatfield Says:
   

   I care for my Dad who has Alzheimer's, too. When my Mom died, and Dad moved in with us, I thought my life was over.

   Laughter saved both of us.

   Now, three years later, I write a daily blog that shows the lighter side of caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia. That is my way of looking at the bright side, and sharing it with other caregivers.

   Still Laughing,
   Kathy

   While performing a"Google" search to give credit for the phrase "laughter is the best medicine" I came across your site. In my practice, I have found that an intense sense of humor or at the very least, the ability to say "I can can over this (without divulging the exclamatory addendums) will help save or extend,end of life expectancies by incredible margins of time. I am not a physician, but simply a pharmacist.
