Like many Alzheimer’s patients, recognition comes and goes and eventually just stops entirely.
My grandfather who raised me from 5 to 14 years old, went rather quickly, in just a couple of months he didn’t even recognize me............
I remember watching him on the Johnny Carson show decades ago.
So sad. Hanna was admirable. Sad about your grandfather too.
A dear friend of mine was just diagnosed with some cellular irregularity in her brain that leads to Alzheimers. Our local Natural Grocer has classes on what to do to slow down progress of disease. Also, the new bestselling book, OUTLIVE: The Science and Art of Longevity, has a chapter on Alzheimers and how to fight it off as long as possible. If you feel at risk, buy the book or get from your library.
I was questioning the article. The editor should have read it before publication.
