When you arrive, you explain your sadness. Dr. W explains your symptoms and the causes. But you hear something you weren’t expecting...
“Alzheimer’s isn’t good. There is no current cure, and I’m not going to tell you it gets better, because it doesn’t. But what I can tell you is that you’re in good hands. Your daughter loves you, you’re getting your medicine now, and you have me. I’m going to tell you that this could be worse and you need to focus on the things you still have instead of those you don’t. You’re strong and you can live with Alzheimer’s. It’s true that Alzheimer’s deteriorates your memory but right now, right now, it isn’t deteriorating your life. Not yet.”
