Living an independent life despite the Alzheimer | Communication
Communicating with others:
- If you do not understand something, ask the person to repeat what he says slowly.
- If you communicate with someone, avoid distractions around you (radio, TV on, noise). Choose a calm and familiar conversation.
- Write the points you need not try to forget you.
Planning the future:
- Your life is yours until the last minute. Although it is difficult, decide and let the written health care instructions and/or destination of your belongings for your family to be very clear what your wishes.
- Prepare your will and/or the judiciary so that the person you choose can access your accounts and make medical decisions on your behalf when you are not in position to do so.
- Have a blast
- Be sure to do the activities that have always given you pleasure: a cinema, a good read, the company of friends. Let all that continue to give meaning to your life, especially now.
- Look after your health: eat well and stay active. Take your medicine and follow the instructions of your doctor.
- Do not isolate yourself. Your old friends, your family, your church group … everyone will be more than happy to help. Accept that help.
