Alzheimers is not a pleasant disease. And it isn't always quick, either (My grandma had it, for about a decade). It IS good that you know it now, rather than struggling through pretending it's not there and happening, though...

Big hugs cause I know you're in for further hard times ahead .. but also cause I know you got good family and people around you to look after you.

Tough times, John. But I think you're a tough guy who can handle it. Especially with the help of those who love and care about you.

Alzheimers is just as devistating to the family as it is to the patient.

And a Happy Birthday to ya (i think it's your birthday as i write this)!
