A personal perspective on Alzheimer’s: my mother doesn’t dance anymore
My mother has Alzheimer’s disease – I first suspected some form of dementia when her friends told me that she didn’t dance anymore. Of course she insisted she did, but it was clear she had “forgotten” the steps in a way that was beyond the forgetfulness of getting older.
As a European snow bird she would travel to Malta each year to escape the damp, grey English winters. One year when I visited her in Malta, I noticed when she went up to the hotel dinner buffet, she could not “remember” where to return to.
