I presented at VNA Attleboro a talk entitled What's Happening? Many people came perhaps because it wasn't only about dementia or Alzheimer's disease, but it was delving into what behaviors signal cognitive change.
Recently I've given talks about The Heart of the Caregiver, New Trends in Alzheimer Care, When Home is no Longer Enough, and Is this Alzheimer's. It is certainly a hot topic; on television daily the Alzheimer 'epidemic' is talked about.
There isn't one of us that at some time doesn't wonder, maybe even worry, about our thinking. As we age, this becomes a bigger concern. We can't remember a name, we find ourselves wondering whether we are going north or south on a major highway or momentarily feel confused at a familiar task. We kiddingly call it a brain glitch, or a senior moment, and hope that is all it is.
Has this ever happened to you? Write about it and post it on my blog. I'm writing articles, giving talks, and am preparing to write my second book. Whatever you add to the mix will be appreciated.
