Their love for Yvette gave them the incentive and the energy to fight against the odds and to achieve some positive results. The story relates how he, Carmen (the companion to Yvette), and others struggled, sometimes against "wise counsel," to prevent Yvette from sliding downhill mentally and physically. She has been in the Care Center since early April, 2012, when I knew that I no longer could adequately care for her myself in our apartment at Vi.This is a true story of how John felt and reacted to the decline of his wife, Yvette, into the quicksands of dementia. This and the previous two books are about Yvette. I’ll let you in on my age by telling you that I retired when I was 67 years old. Lastly, I am a former professor of economics at Stanford University. I think of Vignettes as sketches of stories, impressions without all the details. This Care Center is affiliated with, and is next door to, a large, luxury retirement home (525 residents) called by the funny name of Vi. She has dementia and is cared for in a Memory Support unit in a Care Center, located in Palo Alto, California, adjacent to Stanford University. At least you know the order of publication from the titles. I know that I lack that spark of genius for choosing the titles of these books, for, as you have probably already guessed, this present one is titled Even More Vignettes of Yvette at Vi. These Vignettes are continuations of previous ones published by AuthorHouse in two books, Vignettes of Yvette at Vi and More Vignettes of Yvette at Vi.
