David is no longer using the Global Tracking device (UBI-4000) that I bought for him in 2008. It was a tremendous comfort to me when he would take his long walks, but the long walks by himself are a thing of the past.
He told me a few months ago that he was having a harder time finding his way home....... , and even though I could look on the computer and see (more or less) his location......., it's just tooooooo stressful worrying about him..... plus he doesn't want to go on long walks anymore. In the past..... he loved walking a couple of miles all by himself or with the dog.
His mode of exercise right now is a walk around our 'little circle of a block'........ he moves around in the pool each evening, but no more long walks throughout our neighborhood by himself.....if he does, I'm with him, I'm now his tracking device.
If you have a loved one in the 'early stages' of this disease, and you're interested in this device or curious about it, look at: http://www.globaltrackinggroup.com , you can see how it works. I will be happy to give it to someone who feels it would be useful for them. The monthly charge from Global Tracking is $17.99.
Little by little.....things are changing..... , but I'm thankful for the good days we have!

Please do not include me in the giveaway as I have no need of it. I just wanted to say my heart goes out to you now that you have lost this piece of David's mind as well.
Oh sweetheart, my heart and prayers are with you both during this time of "change"...Just keep making those Happy memories!
That really is a Small device, isn't it!
(((HUG)))
I can tell your love for him is very deep bottomless in fact !
My MIL goes for a walk almost every day she goes in a straight line down a few blocks, she says she walks miles, then she turns around to head home, so far so good.

Dolores,
I have had you on my heart for sometime. I am praying for your strength and David's complete healing. I asked my father, a gifted minister, why some people are healed and others are not. He said that, sometimes, God gets a greater glory out of how one may endure their difficult circumstances than the actual healing itself. Though healing brings joy and delight, character and humility are wrought through our enduring. Others see this and glorify God on our behalf. Please know that, though David has not yet received total healing, God has gained the glory for how you are trusting and depending on Him.
You bless me so, dear friend. I will be keeping you and David in my thoughts and prayers.
Blessings to you today.
In Grace,
Marie
My Dear Friend,
I am so sorry to hear that his walks are a thing of the past. Please know that I am praying for you both. I pray the God gives you the strength you need for each step in this journey. You are a wonderful example of a loving and devoted wife.
Blessings and much love,
Vikki
I am learning so much from you and also thankful you are gracious and kind-hearted. This seems to me to be so because you love so dearly your David, and that alone speaks to me so very much. David is blessed, and I think you are too.
Dolores,
You are such a kind and generous person. Blessings to you and David as you move through the various moments and stages of this disease. Thank God David has you and you him.
Hugs,
Karla
What a great device - I'm glad it allowed David some freedom for a while. Thinking of you!
I hope someone can make us of that tracking device. It looks really practical. How nice of you to give it away. Unfortunately, I am one who cannot use it because I never leave my mom out of my sight when she is under my care....Christine
Just checking on you sweetie...
