    Default I've Done My Good Deed For 2006!

    Wow. I've had a very eventful night.

    A couple of hours ago, I went outside to have a ciggy on my front porch. I was out for a few minutes when I saw this car driving a little on the road, then stopping. Then a lady would call a name out the window. This repeated for a few minutes. She then turned around at the end of the cove, right by my house. Then, she pulled into my driveway, stuck her head out the window, looked at me, and asked if I was who she was calling. I think the name was "Teresa" or "Resa".

    So I went up to the car, and asked her if she was alright. She immediately broke down and started crying. I figured she was just lost, and with it being dark out, she was very afraid. So I asked her where she lived, and she didn't know. I asked if there was anyone I could call for her. Thank the Gods she remembered her phone number and her husband's name. I tried calling a few times, but no answer. I talked to her for a few minutes to get her to calm down, and then I tried to call again. Luckily, her husband answered the phone. I told him who I was, and told him that his wife was in my driveway and that she was lost.

    He then explained to me that she was in her 80s, and has Alzheimers. He was just about to call the police when the phone rang. Apparently, she had told him that she was going to sit on the front porch while he was cooking dinner to get some fresh air. She swiped the keys when he wasn't looking and took off in the car, took a few turns, and didn't know where she was.

    Thankfully, we only live 10 minutes away from her house. So I gave her husband directions and he told me he would be right there. He asked that in the meantime I take her in the house so that she didn't try to drive off. I brought her in, got her some ice water, and kept her talking. She adored Delia, and mentioned that her daughter was coming over and bringing her "little one" with her. She broke down again when I asked if it was a grandson or granddaughter. She couldn't remember and that upset her.

    It didn't take but 10 minutes for her husband to show up, with most of their family with him. They thanked me repeatedly. I just said that I was glad that I was outside at the time, because I don't know if any of my neighbors would've helped her at all. Her husband told me that he's going to be locking the keys up from now on. He was very impressed that she was able to tell me her phone number---TWICE! I told her to keep that number in her head and hold onto it.

    I am just very glad that I was in the right place at the right time. You always hear on the news that Alzheimers patients take off and are found too late.

    My heart seriously goes out to anyone who's had to deal with the disease when a loved one suffers from it. I haven't yet, thankfully. This was close enough for me.

    That was nice what you did . My Grandfather is at a mid-level stage of this disease he still knows the direct family for the most part and many stories about his past he can tell easily . But he cant find the refrigerator or get food himself .If you put it in front of him he can eat it himself . he can dress himself but cant pick oput his clothes . Yes its terrible watching someone with this . The medication he takes seems to be slowing the process . Its sad my Grandma really exerts a lot of energy to keep up with him - she is 87yrs old .

    It's a bad bad deal! Both my grandma's had it and it's no fun at all. It really hurts to know that there are so many people dealing with it. It sucks really bad and I hope none of you have to deal with it.

    You're a saint, Rhi!

    That's why we love you.

    Aw Rhi, that was so sweet of you. My boyfriend's nana has Alzheimers too and she's really starting to deteriorate and it's so sad to watch. It's such an awful disease.

    On a serious note. That is such a beautiful and wonderful story that happened to you. You're right, your neighbors probably woulnd't have thought 2x about helping that women. I'm very pleased and surprised that she could remember her telephone number. That is very good. I'm glad you were there to help.

    That poor woman... Alzheimer's is so horrible. When my aunt got bad, she would cry and cry because she wanted her Mama and didn't understand why her Mama wouldn't come. There was no telling her that her Mama had been dead for 40 years. She would just cry and cry for her Mama.

    You did a wonderful thing, Rhi. Now quit smoking!

    LOL Cin & Yekhefah.. I'm quitting, I'm quitting. The Doc wants me to slowly quit instead of doing the cold-turkey thing like I did with my other 3. He doesn't want any stress to jeopardize the pregnancy. I'm down to 10-a-day, so I'm almost there! Woot!

    Thank you all for sharing your stories and your kind words. Again, I'm just really glad that she chose my driveway and I'm so glad she remembered her number! If she hadn't I'm sure I would've called the police to help her find her way home, but she's still got that number there---and that's something.

    That was really nice of you! There's a woman with the disease that comes into my store for groceries and sometimes she leaves her retirement home without an aid to help her and it's soooo sad. She doesn't realize that she's trying to buy groceries and she gets super lost and will ask us for directions to the grocery store when she's already inside. It scares me to think of what could happen to her while she's all alone like that. If someone was mean enough they could trick her into giving up her whole purse and she'd never even know. What you did was really wonderful and I give you many props for it!! =)

    The grandmother of one of the girls I grew up with just passed away after suffering from alzheimers for 8 years. It was very sad. She's known me for over half of my life...and it was chilling to walk into her house and have her look at me and say, "Who are you? What do you want?" I couldn't imagine how her own family felt when she said that to them.

    It starts out slowly...just little things...and then it ends up full blown with that lost/vacant stare. Very sad.

    I'm so proud of you, Rhi. A lot of people in this day and age would have just ignored that woman. You did a great, wonderful, loving thing for another and you should be proud of yourself.

    I worked at a retirement home for 3 years and there have been a few residents who just walked out and got lost. One woman was found at 2am laying on the side of the road semi-conscious with broken arm and a black eye. She couldn't remember her name or where she came from, but she remembered her SSN (very common that they remember things like phone #'s but not their names). It's really sad...

    Rhi, I'm glad you were at the right place at the right time.

    My grandfather was on his deathbed in the hospital for awhile and was going, "Is that Morrigan, is that Morrigan, is that Morrigan?" to ever girl who walked by. "I want Morrigan. I want to see her. Bring Morrigan to me."

    I finally came in to see him and you know what he said?

    "Who're you?"

    Ouch. His mind may have been clouded, but his heart was true. He loved you.
