The Shippy NV Team has joined up again this year with Revel Rancharrah and Clearwater at Rancharrah to generate as many $$$ as possible for Research into finding a cure for ALZHEIMER'S.
This will be my 5th year raising funds for Alzheimer’s Research. I thank those of you who have helped in the past. With your help WE have generated over $60K to help eliminate this disease. And to give an extra pat on the back WE again have been the top $$$ raising Team in all of Northern NV! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
A LOT has changed for Jeanne and me over the past year. Jeanne has now been a resident in the Memory Care Unit at Clearwater Rancharrah here on Reno for almost a year and a half. I lived next door at Revel Rancharrah but have recently moved to south Reno about 10 minutes away. And now, I am seriously considering a move back to Incline to be with my best friends.
Jeanne has now graduated from the Walker to being Wheelchair bound as when she tells her brain to pick up a leg and take a step, sadly, the leg just trembles. Therefore the need for the wheelchair.
Since October Jeanne has been under Hospice Care. They have supplied a hospital bed, wheelchair and all incontinent supplies. Marina, the RN comes in once a week and an Aide one or two other times per week to help with showering etc.
Now when I visit many time she is dozing off sitting in the wheelchair in front of the TV in the common area. I requested the staff to put her down for a nap after lunch in her bed. They did, but then the problem was she would try to get out of bed and fall. So now it's back to the common area in the wheelchair.
I did get back east in late October. Was able to visit with my sister in the Cleveland OH area and then on to see Susan and her family in Annapolis MD.
Fortunately both Susan and Scott are totally on board with the care that Jeanne is receiving at Clearwater. I can't imagine going through this without their support. A sincere blessing!
