Sinopsis

This is the heart-wrenching story of the author',s mother, diagnosed with the fatal brain disorder---Alzheimer',s. Together, she, and her eight-year-old dachshund, Rusty,áconfront the harrowing challenges of thisápowerful degenerative disease, in near total anonymity as they shut themselves off fromáthe outside world.áFor two long years after diagnosis, they lived inásolitude, until circumstances dictated a different approach. Even round-the-clock care didn',t prevent a horrific incident that nearly cost both mom and dogátheir lives---the instigator of the incident surprised everyone.áMom and dog eventually move in with her son---it didn',t take long before the son realized he was in way over his head---it',s ugly, brutal, and costly for both the sufferer and the caregiver.áNothing prepares an outsider for a front row seat to a brain disorder that destroys all memories and loss of control of many bodily functions.áWhen she moved in with us, it didn',t take long to realize Mom had a different symphony playing in her head, it',s rhythm so disjointed you couldn',t understand the melody or lyrics.
