Just heard on the news that they've found a way to diagnose Alzheimer's before the patient dies.

It's a start...

Wow. Yes, it is.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Alzheimer's runs in my mother's family, and that diagnosis could come very much in handy to me someday.

I miss Gram. But now at least you guys will know when I start developing symptoms. I'm almost certain to -- it runs on both sides of Mom's family, and she's always talking about how she's losing things lately. I think it's partly stress, but it could also be ... well, it could also be the progression of the disease. I read somewhere that it's more linked to women's heredity than men's.
