  • Remembering 60 years back is hard for anyone, but for Melvyn Amrine it's especially challenging. Melvyn was diagnosed with Alzheimer's three years ago. For his wife, Doris, it's been hard to watch. But she says something happened recently to remind her that the man she fell in love with is still here. Steve Hartman reports.

    • @angelicbaby92
      @angelicbaby92 10 років тому +3

      Necrodox even when you deal with cops on a regular basis, they are jerks. In their mind, they either pinpoint you as the bad or good one. And if you're the "bad" one, they are disrespectful as hell.

    • @Necrodoxious
      @Necrodoxious 10 років тому +18

      angelicbaby92 such statements can only be made based on personal experience. Someone with 10 bad experiences with cops will say they're jerks, someone with 10 good experiences with cops will say they're gods. But let's be honest here, most people chalk them up as "jerks" because they gave them a ticket". Is that fair to the cops? Of course not, I understand there are some bullshit laws and we might get caught up in them, but it is what it is. I've only been pulled over twice, and on both occasions I cooperated completely without giving the officer any type of crap or difficulty. I responded politely and accurately without any malicious intent. Being honest and practical with cops has always landed me brownie points so it makes me wonder how so many people have such problems with cops.
      Maybe it's because they're doing suspicious things without realizing it (this happens a lot believe it or not). Regardless, it is what it is. I just hate when people demoralize *all* cops for the actions of a cop on some UA-cam video. Think what you will of cops but they are there to protect and serve you, maybe you don't see it, maybe you don't recognize it, but you seriously need to appreciate it.
      Just like the many brave women and man who fight for our freedom, we take it for granted. Just because the media accentuates the bad doesn't mean it's necessarily true (far from it actually).
      Kudos my friend.

    Very beautiful story, and I can relate with the wife on how it's hard to watch how her husband's condition is worsening. My grandmother has Alzheimer's and Dementia, I am her caregiver and it breaks me up inside ever single day seeing how she's always lost and how she doesn't understand what is going on with her. She's become very depressive and her hallucinations from her Dementia doesn't make her condition a walk in the park. I'm always trying to teach her positive thinking and not giving up to her disease but its not working as I hoped for, so I spend many of my days and nights crying because even thou taking care of an Alzheimer's patient is overwhelming, watching how the disease robs the person of their identity and memories is so much worse.

      @LRClifford02 10 років тому

      I an touched to read your experience. My brother had Alzheimer's and Dementia. I worry when, not if, some of that will affect me. My wife does not have a genetic predisposition to that, but she is older than I am. We just have to be prepared to help each other.

    • @jedatv404
      @jedatv404 10 років тому +1

      Larry Clifford I totally understand, I worry too since Alzheimer's and Dementia runs rapid hell in my family. Alzheimer's has claimed more than 20 of my family members since the 1930's. My grandmother is the oldest of 19 siblings, she already had a brother and sister die a few years back from the disease and right now she has another brother (my godfather) and another sister who are suffering from the illness. My great-grandmother (their mother) was the only one out of her 9 siblings that wasn't effected by the disease. I also have countless of other family members who have suffered from it who I haven't met yet (we are a huge family). The stories are horrible, one of my grandmother's aunts used to walk naked in the streets and one of her uncles lost his mind and killed a man, which is scary because my grandmother along with all her siblings become violent :(
      But I am assuming that you live in the US and I know there are many test that your doctor can do to see if you will develop the disease. There's genetic risk testing, it's a blood test for APOE-e4, the strongest risk gene for Alzheimer's. Also there's deterministic genes and Neurological exams that your doctor can do. If you have the mutation gene that causes Alzheimer's it doesn't necessarily mean that you will get Alzheimer's but that you have the gene. You can find more information at the Alzheimer's Association website. I honestly wish we had those test here where I live, but I am already showing early signs so I think I already know the answer if I get tested.

    So much positive unexpected moments in life when tend to spark hope inside of you, when they tend to flash the silver linings, then, because this emotionally tangible shape of the moment becomes so compelling, you can't hold down your emotional outburst. You become confident and happy. Your body can't resist the sudden urges of optimism growing out of your nutral attitude and you develop tears in your eyes. And this instant of time becomes the most beautiful moment of your life. :')

Back when they married they likely had to deal with scorn and racism. They are an adorable couple. Again love won out. The two police officers are cool dudes & I hope they remain safe.
