Met Mr Pratchett at the old broomcon near Ipswich twice, sound fella, damn shame, his writings have helped me through some hard times when I haven’t been able to concentrate on reading anything more heavyweight 🙂

I like his writing,
Its such an awful disease, and the early stages can be totally frustrating esp as you know whats starting to happen.

My aunt developed it early / youngish and she too is at the stage of not remembering who I am and looking like an ‘old’ woman, when she was always really vivacsious and ‘young’… :hopeless: she’s also got to the stage of hitting people :crazy:

they have started her on ‘aricept’ which is maent to ‘slow the process down’ but wont ‘cure’ it

My grandad died last year after nigh on a decade of going down hill, he’d got to the point of assaulting people 5 mins after they’d arrived in his house thinking they were burglars, it’s a shame to say and a right corny line but I know it’s easier for my grandma now his gone as she was his full time carer, in the end he couldn’t even recognise her 😥 It’s a damn cruel disease

:group_hug :group_hug tg an ms

it is a very cruel disease
