My experiences, so far.

Hi,

my name is ginger, I was actually diagnosed in 2002 with dementia, the doctor at that time disagreed with finding, due to the fact the I have- bi-polar disease( please don't let that scare you away, it is a disease like anything else, I am not crazy, and if you met me, you would not think there was anything wrong with, me, where as, actually there isn't;well anyway, I was never treated, something happen around the middle of last year, and I though I should persue it with a neourologist.  They did a Pet Scan, and found that I had the onset of ALZ; at first I was really frightened, then I realize, actually I am ok. They put me on Arecept, and Namenda, and I am ok.  I am still driving, getting out an about. I am a type "A" personality, so I can't sit still, I have to be going going going.

I am not afraid, I try not to go there, in my mind. I don't dwell on it. It' will make you NUTS.

what's the difference, a bus could hit you tomorrow, so all of that wasted worrying energy was for nothing. Enjoy the Day, the moment, the Hour. Think good things, happy things that have happened in your life and how lucky you are, to have had those moment.
