SUMMARY:Alzheimer's Disease - Learning\, Coping & Surviving as a Caregiver | Marty Schreiber | My Two Elaines
DESCRIPTION:Former Wisconsin Gov. Schreiber to speak about Alzheimer's and dementia caregiving.\n\nFormer Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber continues the most important campaign of his life when he visits Colonial Club (301 Blankenheim Ln.) in Sun Prairie on Thursday\, October 24\, 2019\, at 6:00 p.m. to talk about the challenges of being an Alzheimer's caregiver. This event is presented by Hyland Campus of Sun Prairie in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association\, Colonial Club and Dementia Friendly Sun Prairie. Registration is recommended by calling 608-575-9384. The first 25 households that register will receive a free copy of his book.\n\nSchreiber will share what he has learned\, which is included in his award-winning book\, "My Two Elaines: Learning\, Coping\, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver\," so others don't experience the learning curve he did. The free presentation in Sun Prairie will include time for questions and suggestions from other caregivers.\n\n "My Two Elaines" books and CDs will be available for purchase for $15 (cash or checks only). Net proceeds are used to support Alzheimer's caregiver programs.\n\n"My Two Elaines" is a guide for Alzheimer's families and caregivers as well as a love story that spans more than 60 years. Schreiber's wife Elaine was officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease more than one decade ago and since then\, he has worked tirelessly to be a caregiver and loving spouse to someone who no longer recognizes him. He refers to the woman with whom he fell in love in high school\, married\, raised a family and ran political campaigns as his first Elaine\, and today's sweet\, sensitive woman who remembers nothing about their past as his second. He speaks about the need for caregivers to build support systems and self-care\, which are among the things he failed to do early on.\n\nLike many thrown into the heartbreaking Alzheimer's world\, Schreiber knew little about the disease. What he found most disturbing was that even healthcare providers don't know the degree to which Alzheimer's affects the person who lives with it and his or her family.\n\n"If Alzheimer's is bad\, ignorance of the disease is worse\," he said.\n\nVisit www.mytwoelaines.com for more detailed information.
