Ronald Reagan was my favorite president.Is it possible some early warning signs were there - yes. Doesn't matter he was still an awesome president.It's also possible that the early signs were just normal signs of aging and little Ron is making a connection that isn't there.But as for having surgery or not - our local paper DID at the time of the accident publish that he had surgery to relieve the pressure. I didn't realize there was any question about that.Now granted a lot of newspaper reporters ARE knuckleheads and they could have had it wrong.But they DID print that and I remember being very worried about him and thinking brain swelling can't be good at his age.Later on when I heard he had Alzheimer's I remember wondering if the blow to the head contributed to it.I agree that Ron's assertion that doctor's found signs of Alzheimer's while looking at his brain is silly.Signs of aging perhaps, and maybe they said something along those lines and he's stretching it to fit his scenario.As far as I know you don't diagnose Alzheimer's that way.In any event they only remove a portion of the skull to alleviate swelling.They wouldn't have been looking at his whole brain or inside his brain. If little Ron thinks so he's ignorant. Oh wait -
