As I wrote briefly before, and as many of you now know, Rock Knocker has Alzheimer’s and I have been taking care of him. That can take many forms, of course, and a bit over a week ago, it took yet another form.
A week ago Sunday, RK woke up not feeling well. During the day, he vomited. He couldn’t eat or drink. Monday morning he was still sick and vomited again. I started packing for him and for me and for two dogs. I called ahead and made a reservation with the Carmel Mission Inn. That is where I have been since last Monday, a week ago. He is in CHOMP getting the great care they are known for.
My focus, for now, is on him. He had surgery for a blockage on Friday and is recovering. I’ll be back when I can.

Hi Kate. All my best regards and thoughts to both of you and to his care and recovery. Mark
Prayers for you both. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is not easy. I’m sure you have great doctor’s but Dr. Lancelot Alexander is the most amazing Neurologist we have had the opportunity to work with. He is in Monterey by the hospital. I made my mom a book of her life and I believe it has kept her connected longer. She looks at almost daily. She says it brings her right back. We also have a “Skylight” that everyone sends photos and videos to. She loves feeling connected to her family all over the world. The best to you.
