As gerald_duckpoints out, we've been blessed with a lot more Terry Pratchett that we got of Douglas Adams. And if Pterry can be reasonably upbeat about the perturbing medical news then the rest of the world can be no less.
(My LJ is entirely flocked by default for reasons that should be obvious but which can be explained by e-mail if they're not.)
I'll do my best to be upbeat, but all the same. :(
I never really knew my great-grandma: she was too far gone (with Alzheimer's), really, by the time I'd grown up enough to pay any attention at all, but she lasted until 95. I'm left with a mild horror of nursing homes and the smells and telling the same story over and over and over again and...
... all the other terrifying bits and pieces to do with it. So. Yes. Meh.

Very irritatingly, he effectively died of having been misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's.
