Now in an expanded and updated second edition, "Where's my Shoes"?: My Father's Walk Through Alzheimer's by Brenda Avadian is more than simply another heart wrenching/heartwarming personal story of a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer, it is also a professionally informed and informative survey of all of the various facets and concerns involved with the treatment and care of Alzheimer victims and their familial support. Among the issues author Avadian touches upon are the diagnosis of this slowly debilitating disease, Alzheimer's support groups available to family members and caregivers, conservatorship, in-home and out-patient medical care, skilled nursing care, and the handling of such inevitable issues as family conflicts, as well as legal and financial considerations. Of special note is what, based upon her personal experiences in taking care of her late father with Alzheimer's, is what Brenda Avadian has to say about celebrating life all the while dealing with an Alzheimer's patient. Enhanced with a bibliography, an index, illustrative photos, invaluable caregiver tips and warning signs, "Where's my Shoes?" is especially recommended reading for anyone who finds themselves dealing with Alzheimer.
