Alzheimer ke Nyanyuk? Familiar?

Sama jer yer, tu cakap kita orang melayu la. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.Yep, betul..it happen gradually. Apa yang boleh saya bagitau, bersabarlah menjaga mereka kalau dah semakin teruk...i mean 500% of patience.

Napa tiba2 saya citer pasal ni? Out of sudden i remember my late father, al fatihah to him. We took care of him during his mild Alzheimer until he been attack with stroke and bed ridden for over a year before he died. :). pesanan khidmat masyarakat gak la, disamping info tuk korang2 kan kan? Pesanan saya, jagalah mereka bila mereka memerlukan because one day it will be our turn too. Ok, back to our topic yer.

According to Barry Reisberg, M.D., clinical director of the New York University School of Medicine's Silberstein Aging and Dementia Research Center, there is 7 stages of this Alzheimer Disease (AD). Tiap orang mungkin tak lalui benda yang sama and mayb ada yg skip certain stage ataupun overlapped with each other. Ni ai amek terus la, sebab kalau edit lain macam plak kan. ni link dia.

Stage 1  - No impairment (normal function) - The person does not experience any memory problems. An interview with a medical professional does not show any evidence of symptoms of dementia. Belum ada lagi la..stage kita semua ni.


Stage 2 - Very mild cognitive decline (may be normal age-related changes or earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease) - The person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses — forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects. But no symptoms of dementia can be detected during a medical examination or by friends, family or co-workers. Biasanya they will keep it by themselves. yer la tak ingat takkan nak cakap dengan orang kan?

Stage 3 - Mild cognitive decline (early-stage Alzheimer's can be diagnosed in some, but not all, individuals with these symptoms) -  Friends, family or co-workers begin to notice difficulties. Yang ni kita sedar tak sedar la ada, cuba tengok apa yer. Common stage 3 difficulties include:

• Noticeable problems coming up with the right word or name

• Trouble remembering names when introduced to new people
• Having noticeably greater difficulty performing tasks in social or work settings 
• Forgetting material that one has just read
• Losing or misplacing a valuable object
• Increasing trouble with planning or organizing 

Stage 4 -  Moderate cognitive decline (Mild or early-stage Alzheimer's disease)  - At this point, a careful medical interview should be able to detect clear-cut symptoms in several areas:

• Forgetfulness of recent events
• Impaired ability to perform challenging mental arithmetic — for example, counting backward from 100 by 7s
• Greater difficulty performing complex tasks, such as planning dinner for guests, paying bills or managing finances
• Forgetfulness about one's own personal history
• Becoming moody or withdrawn, especially in socially or mentally challenging situations 

Stage 5 -  Moderately severe cognitive decline (Moderate or mid-stage Alzheimer's disease) - Gaps in memory and thinking are noticeable, and individuals begin to need help with day-to-day activities. At this stage, those with Alzheimer's may:

• Be unable to recall their own address or telephone number or the high school or college from which they graduated
• Become confused about where they are or what day it is
• Have trouble with less challenging mental arithmetic; such as counting backward from 40 by subtracting 4s or from 20 by 2s
• Need help choosing proper clothing for the season or the occasion
• Still remember significant details about themselves and their family
• Still require no assistance with eating or using the toilet 

Stage 6 - Severe cognitive decline (Moderately severe or mid-stage Alzheimer's disease) - Memory continues to worsen, personality changes may take place and individuals need extensive help with daily activities. At this stage, individuals may: 

• Lose awareness of recent experiences as well as of their surroundings
• Remember their own name but have difficulty with their personal history 
•  Distinguish familiar and unfamiliar faces but have trouble remembering the name of a spouse or caregiver
• Need help dressing properly and may, without supervision, make mistakes such as putting pajamas over daytime clothes or shoes on the wrong feet
• Experience major changes in sleep patterns — sleeping during the day and becoming restless at night
• Need help handling details of toileting (for example, flushing the toilet, wiping or disposing of tissue properly)
• Have increasingly frequent trouble controlling their bladder or bowels
• Experience major personality and behavioral changes, including suspiciousness and delusions (such as believing that their caregiver is an impostor)or compulsive, repetitive behavior like hand-wringing or tissue shredding
• Tend to wander or become lost 

Stage 7 -  Very severe cognitive decline (Severe or late-stage Alzheimer's disease) - In the final stage of this disease, individuals lose the ability to respond to their environment, to carry on a conversation and, eventually, to control movement. They may still say words or phrases. At this stage, individuals need help with much of their daily personal care, including eating or using the toilet. They may also lose the ability to smile, to sit without support and to hold their heads up. Reflexes become abnormal. Muscles grow rigid. Swallowing impaired. Tak mudah yer readers...do it with your sincere heart :). Dengan keadaan dorang, they are super sensitive. Layankan ajer yer.

Kami jaga ayah sampai dia ke stage 7. yes, tak mudah tapi alhamdulillah, we did everythg with our bare hand, the rest is history. Kudos to my sister & my mak who did this 24hrs. Masa ayah dah terlantar sebab stroke, im pregnant and delivered my 1st baby Hisham. Dia sempat la tengok Hisham and still able to talk, but he dont understand at all and he couldnt recognise us anymore. Yep, we missed him..its been a year now. Alfatihah to ayah and may he will be place in Al-Jannah.

comeynya ai hihihi...Alfatihah to ayah

Ada Pet?

Korang2 yang ada pet tu esp kucing atau dog, jaga la elok2. ni tak, main lepas bebas sesuka hati jer buat orang lain tension nengok rasa nak tolong kasik racun hihihihihi..geram tau dgn tuan punya binatang macam ni. kenkonon sayang binatang tapi buat orang bengang jer.

ni antara2 common sense yang perlu korang jaga & handle yer supaya tak menyakitkan mata orang lain.

Bagi makan - supaya dia kenyang duk tempat dia jer jgn kuar dari situ & takde merayau2 kat umah orang. Bagi makan puas2. Pastu ajar dia makan benda2 mahal supaya dia tak selongkar tong sampah orang duk makan rubbish.


Ajar tempat proper membuang - haaa ni penting, jgn nanti dia duk sebuk ke umah orang plak. Lelagi kucing ni, bukan ke dah ada pasir khas tuk dorg? ni idak tuan punya giler pemalas nak kerjakan..tapi jaga nak, tapi kedekut plak. eeeee nyampah ai. Cuba korg tgk org2 kat oversea tu, sangat bagus kalau ada jaga dog pastu dorg pun siap kutip hasil waste pet dorg guna tgn masuk dlm plastik pastu buang dlm tong sampah. kot rasa malas nak buat camtu, pakaikan pet tu dgn diaper. ishh nyusahkan orang betul

Bring for a walk - ni especially tuk dog. kalau takde exercise nih nanti anjing2 ni jadi macam meroyan. melalak2 jer pastu jadi garang. mcm tantrum camtu la.


Mesra dgn orang - dog lagi, tolongggg la ajar jangan jadi garang sangat, ni idak. yang herannya, ai perasan dog ni kalau dgn kita org melayu muslim ni garang semacam salak dia. mcm kita pencurik plak. hapa tuan punya ajar dorg camtu ke? hehehe.


Ikat atau kurung - sila buat camtu yer kalau kuar dari rumah. kalau dak asyik merayau2 kejenya.


Ajar malam tuk tido - jangan malam duk meow meow meow barking2 plak...tensen tau kalau ada anak kecik. memang nak kena kasik potong sungguh


Jaga sampai dia mati - kalau dah takmo jgn duk buang tepi jalan. kasi hantar kat tempt yg terima mcm shelter house. ni idak byk betui yang akhirnya jadi binatang liar berkeliaran carik makanan & tempat tido. aih apa la nak jadi.


Pehal la tetiba citer pasal ni. Sebab ai heran, banyak sungguh binatang2 liar kat luar nun. mana asal habitat dorang kan? mesti la dari orang yg konon2 rajin nak jaga last2 diorg lepaskan. pesanan penting khidmat masyarakat dari animal shelter..bawak gi sana kalau dah taknak. sian tau walaupun hanya binatang . yang penting ai takut dengan binatang hihihihi

My Neighbor, Your Neighbor

Takde jiran rasa mcm best, tapi kalau ada pun bukan la best benar heheee. Tapi kita bukan duk sorg2 kat dunia ni, opkoz la kena ada jiran tetangga. Lelagi kat Malaysia nih umah yang jenis jiran sebelah blh dengar kalau kita naik tangga atau cakap kuat. Jadi kot rasa nak jerit2 tu fikir2 la banyak kali sbb kot ada jiran intip hihihi.


Cemana agaknya nak berhubungan dengan mesra dengan jiran tetangga ni..dah kenai baru tau suka idak...jgn awal sangat buat impression. here we goes....


Introduce yourself - Whether you're new in the neighborhood or new residents have just moved in on your area, introduce yourself. Say hello & salam. Kalau ompteh kita tgk kat desperate housewife tu dorg siap bawak casserole ke umah org yg baru pindah dgn niat nak berkenalan. Tapi experience duk kat malaysia ni, jangan harap huahauuaa...kot nasib ko baik dia tegur la..kalau dak next year baru dpt bersua muka hehe. Maybe ada basic things yg kita boleh buat, macam tanya la..kat sini hari apa org kutip sampah datang, kot ada anak2 tanya kat mana ada tmpt pengasuh atau van nak pi sekolah..camtu lah. ayat pemanas gitu. :)

Be aware of shared walls - If you're in a terrace, condominium, semi-detached house or any structure where you and your neighbors share adjacent living spaces, position noisy household appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers - even TVs and speakers - away from partition walls. Tapi biasanya, ada aku kesah? hihihihi. tu belum masuk lagi kes orang karaoke, lari2an, drill dinding, anjing menyalak, anak jerit2 (anak ai la ni hihihi) , gaduh mcm setaman boleh dengar and so on. mana yang kita boleh elakkan menggangu ketenteraman jiran, elakkan la yer. Sbb kita pun harap benda yang sama gak



Control your pet - Yang ni ai cukup tak boleh tahan, tak kisah la dog ka cat ka. awak kalau nak ada pet, buat cara ada pet jangan diabaikan sampai menyusahkan orang lain plak. Tolong ajar & bagi makan yang cukup anjing/kucing korang. kalau daaaaaaak aih maleh den nak cakap. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine how upset you'd be if you or perhaps your newborn was woken from a much-needed nap by the sudden barking and screaming by yr dog/cat. Lagi satu kalau dah tanak dua2 species tu, jangan la main lepas  jer sampai dia merayau2 kat compound umah orang. annoying gila.

Practice parking etiquette - Ni masalah paling besar orang malaysia. Parking sesuka hati dia jer..parking yg memang layak nak kena calar kete tu hehehee. When you park your vehicle, be sure not to block anyone's access, or make them have to pull out of a very tight spot. Don't over-rev vrommm vrommmm the engine of your car or motorcycle early in the morning or late at night. Ingat nak pegi race ka. Park in front of your own home, not theirs. Avoid slamming your doors or shining your headlights into your neighbor's windows late at night. Lagi satu, kot dah dpt parking spot depan umah jgn plak anggap tmpt tu ko punya sorg jer..mcm la kawasan umah dia hehee.

Be aware of your surroundings, as well as theirs - Even if you're not in a rukun tetangga, keep your eye on anyone you don't know acting suspiciously around your neighbor's property. When in doubt, call the police so they can quickly curtail any criminal activity. Tapi jangan la jadi jiran super sebuk yang mcm cik kiah majlis mesyuarat tingkap plak, suma hal peribadi org nak tau pastu duk jaja. duk dendiam kat umah jer, bila perlu jer bersuara hehee.

Ada jiran2 yg sangat considerate...macam ai la kan huahuahuaa...ada yg jenis aku tak suka la manusia sebuk2 ni..ada gak yang jenis hey ko jgn pandang aku, luku nak? Apa2 pun...cakap bila perlu jer. mcm hal anak2 ke, kalau ai malas nak campo..bg kawan2 pun kureng sket. sbb ada jenis jiran yg tak blh ditegur...jadi elok la berpada2 jer dgn jiran2 ni. Takyah nak rapat2 beno, kang makan kita plak. eh..ai nih bagi nasihat ke bagi orang sesat hihihi..terpulang lah.

Ready For A Relationship?

Single single out there, wehuuuuuuuuuuuu. Dah sampai masanya nak semakkan fikiran after a long break, or maybe it never start at all. Eh, a relationship will bring somethg into your life. a messiness, layan karenah tak sudah, gaduh2an, curhat2an, and many more! Are you ready?...meh nengok. Harini ai jadi Dr.Love wahahahahaha.



Physically & Mentally Ready -  Uih nih paling penting, sebab pastu no turning back. kot nak pusing balik dia akan tinggalkan scar yang tak best yer. What is important, once you feel happier in your own skin, you'll be more ready for a new start.



Numbers Is Important - Apa tu? tak paham yer. Easy peasy okay. try building up your number of friends of both genders. Most of us find romance at work or through our network of acquaintances. If this isn't happening for you, you may need to extend your friendship circle. sonang baitu kan? Cara yang paling mudah, spend more time on leisure activities that you can enjoy. So u can speak to other individual that is totally stranger who like the same things. The more friends you have, the bigger chances you have of meeting that special someone. okay...apa lagi, get yourself a new hobby n interest n meet up more people! :) .

Approach Someone U Like - If you want to get to know someone better, a good ploy is to involve him or her in some group social event. Boleh buat in a group la kan...mayb pegi movie, bowling, watch teater, hiking, rock climbing, go concert etc. With luck you should be near the person you like and be able to talk together without the pressure of it being a 'date'. If things go well, you might progress for a cup of coffee. And even better, you'll probably feel ready to suggest a cosy dinner for two.Yahuuuuuuuu! kena cecepat sket la bertindak, jgn lembap2 yer hihihihi


Watch Out For A Sign - Senang jer...tengok body language. Bukan suma orang daring terus bagitau suka. Kalau pun ada yang camtu mau terkujat orang yg dengar tu hihihihi. When someone is interested in you it's likely there'll be lots of eye contact. As well as smiling, and if someone nods when listening to you, this means they are empathetic and pleased to be engaged in conversation with you. Jangan plak angguk2 pastu tertido hihihi..sergah jer skali org camtu yer :p.

First Date - Uih, ni memang peluh sejuk membuak2 kuar ni..ketaq paler lutut hehehe. Paling penting don't expect too much. All you really need to establish is that you are comfortable with the other person. Buat cam biasa2 jer. chewaaaaaah, ai pun ketaq2 gak dulu hihihihi. Kot takut sangat bawak la mak apak wakakakaka.


Ring Ring - If you've had a good time, there's no harm in texting or phoning to say how much you enjoyed it. Tapi kalau it didnt work out, jgn la back out terus...sian owang tu tau. ckp la elok2 yer.


Pastu the rest is history...pepandai la bawak diri yer cemana nak maintain it and bring it to the next level when u r ready. Ai tunggu card jer dari korang heheee...Gud Luck!!
