original description

My wife, the nurse/professor, has been telling me for years that Alzheimer’s was a disease we were going to have to face as a nation. The baby boomers, all 80 million of them, are beginning to collect Social Security checks and, unfortunately, a growing number of them are having to deal with dementia; particularly, Alzheimer’s. What is most distressing about this disease is the amount of care required to sustain its victims. As the disease progresses more and more care is required; expensive care. HBO has recently done a series of films on the subject and they are must see for anyone who has been touched by Alzheimer’s, even if you only worry that your own memory is not what it used to be!
