 ...My wife is currently teaching a PSW course at a local communiyy college. We both were fortunate to see this film and were quite moved. It would be very beneficial to show such a film to these young students to see the actual person before, during and after such a debilitating illness. We think the future care of people with dementia would gain more understanding when young students are taught the progression of this disease. How can we purchase or get a copy of your story. ...I missed seeing the film. How can I go about purchasing the film and the TVO documentary discussion afterwards?? My father has it, he's 76, fit, was a farmer, still loves to go and help out somewhat. Amazing how his short term memory is so very limited yet things from his long long term past he can talk about easily, he's now starting to mix some long term past up with current life. His mother had it and a number of her last years she was completly out of it. He is on meds which seem to be sort of slowing??, holding it at bay. ...I saw the documentary last night...it was amazing!!..an extremely touching portrait of a man and his family dealing with this deadly disease. The material is gut wrentching, yet so poignient!!. Chris Wynn made a fantastic show, kudos...TVO should repeat this regularly....I can't stop thinking about the show, and the very sad scene with hadley (the caregiving dog)... ...I work at a hospital and I heard about your documentary through the grapevine. My first degree is gerontology and I did an honors thesis looking at the value of cognitive and mood assessments being done in patients' homes instead of hospitals and ever since then I have had such a keen interest in this diagnosis. My grandfather was eventually diagnosed with AD (but not early onset) so it also hits close to home. I also worked in the community doing home care with families who were dealing with the effects of dementia and I loved it. I moved out of that specialty but when I watched the trailer and other video on this website, it made me realize that I still feel a pull to move back into that specialty at some point in time. I've set my PVR to tape your documentary tomorrow night and I'm looking forward to watching it. ...First thing is I would like to extend my condolances to Chris and his family, I would like to say that this film was right on the money, I just lost my dad a few months ago and everything that Chris and his family went through are much the same as what my family went through, I thought this film was very helpful and educational for me. Thank you ... I saw the film last night, and i am having trouble putting how i felt about it into words. I have never had someone in my life go though what Mr. John Wynn did, so this was my first time being exposed to Alzheimer's in anyway. |
