A Pocket Guide for the Alzheimer's Caregiver
"The book is the place to turn for initial information and perspective on Alzheimer's disease, and to return for practical advice as problems arise. Most importantly, however, it dispels the sense of hopelessness families may feel by providing steps to maximize the enjoyment of life for the person with Alzheimer's disease." --- Robert C. Griggs, MD, FAAN; 2009 - 2011 President, American Academy of Neurology

While I Still Can...
Rarely does one get an opportunity to experience the nightmare that is Alzheimers Disease from the perspective of the person who has been stricken with it. In his book, While I Still Can, Rick Phelps, the founder of Memory People, an online Alzheimers and dementia support group, changes all of that. Diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimers Disease in his 50's, Rick decided it was time the veil was lifted. Throughout this book the reader is given a firsthand account of: the early signs that Rick experienced, the loneliness he felt during the denial period of family and friends, the terror that gripped his heart upon receiving the undeniable diagnosis and, after the diagnosis, how he and his loved ones have learned to cope with this mind robbing and fatal disease. A real page turner, While I Still Can, affords an uncommon glimpse into the world of memory loss, while at the same time it tells the story of love, commitment, faith and courage in the face of a catastrophic disease.
