Omg! These two together were a hoot.

[GOP Poet]

Interesting (what you wrote about the educated guess.). My heart goes out to you and to your patient.

[GOP Poet]

How old are they? Do you recall the very earliest signs by chance?

[Scrambler Bob]

They can still call him in to ‘tame’ Biden.

I think I went to high school in Japan with Hanna’s pastor at New Hope in Dublin; the Rev. is very down right now, as are many in that church, as much as I can tell.

Marlin: “Meanwhile, let’s see how Jim is doing with those alligators. “

[PROCON]

The article says he was 76.

No big deal but his own website says he was born on Jan 02, 1947.

What were the side affects which you observed?

Early 90’s

“...he’ll still be smarter than the animals.”

And about twice as smart as anyone at CNN.

[rockabyebaby]

How do they diagnose ‘Alzheimer’s’, anyway?

Autopsy, however, here are some telltale signs.

How do they diagnose ‘Alzheimer’s’, anyway?

About 8 years ago my wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's by Doctors at Brigham and Women's in Boston.

One of the doctors sat me down nd showed me on screen a normal brain and an Alzheimer's brain, in what he called then a white plane view through he Hippocampus section of the brain.

You can see the white edging starting on an early Alzheimers brain followed in time by the back lobe showing white as all recent memory is lost, and finally the front lobe will whiten as long term memory will be affected.

Now many years later my wife tripped on a curb and hit her head and went by amulbance to the local hospital ER. She did not go to the hospital because of Alzheimers but because of her fall.

Below is a paragraph on the Hospital finding on her fall , and I noticed that doctor also knew about the white plane view. -Tom

"No acute intracranial process or change since December 2020. Extensive cerebral white matter low-attenuation consistent with small vessel disease with associated atrophy. There is significant atrophy of the hippocampus bilaterally suggesting Alzheimer's type dementia as well."

Ugh. My mother-in-law has early onset Alzheimer’s, it’s difficult. She is younger than him.

Sorry to read this. He was a terrific and witty spokesman for animals.

[Avalon Memories]

I’ll go with his website, especially considering the pathetic state of the news media these days.
