My Alzheimer’s Diary –7th entry, Sunday 21st August 2016.

By David Jack Wickert.

Thursday 18th August 2016 My wife Rachel started a very important conversation between us during the morning on Friday 19th. We are taking it as read that with Alzheimer’s & Epilepsy I shan’t live forever, in fact not long at all! So, if possible, we have decided to do as much planning as we can for my funeral now, including a burial place for my remains in a place Rachel & I choose and we agree that it will be next to or under a tree (see picture above by capsulamundi.it) . Rachel reminded me of unconventional green undertakers in Brighton that we shall investigate. It is called http://www.arkafunerals.co.uk

Friday 19th August 2016 - A couple of nights ago I wet the bed. I guess the first time since I was a baby. No particular reason to link it to the Alzheimer’s. And fortunately, I had taken the precaution of purchasing Discreet Protection several months ago primarily for when I am on long journeys but I found it uncomfortable and I phased it out. The bed wetting has come a mild shock and I wasn’t wearing Protection. I wonder, is it caused directly or indirectly by the Alzheimer’s? I shan’t take any risks. And I am happy to report that last night the Protection worked very well indeed, no leaks, and it is more comfortable in bed than when walking about.

Sunday 21st August 2016 I didn’t sleep well so didn’t go with Rachel to swim as we usually do on a Sunday morning. I thought I might have more energy during the day, energy usually expended in the swimming pool, but I have been as tired this afternoon as I would expect to be if I had been for a swim. As time goes on I am needing to rest more and certainly not waste energy when I could be resting. I wonder if writing this diary comes into the category of wasted energy?

I shall resume swimming as soon as possible. Are you a swimmer?

Thanks for reading this; don’t hesitate to respond to my Diary entries.

When my time comes around lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down. I'll crawl home to her.

Hozier

This is my current obsession. I've been listening to this song on repeat for a week straight and still I am not tired of it.  I like to think life will be like this, that when my time comes I will be laid to rest in the earth, but not in a casket. No! I would like to be laid to rest in one of those burial pods, so that when I am dead I can create new life...a tree. Although he talks of nothing holding him down when it comes to the love of his life, I like to think that when I am gone, nothing can hold me down, because I will grow as a tree and just as the christian song goes, "I shall not be moved."
