My father has been part of a Columbia Presbyterian Memory Disorder study since 1997. He had his annual memory test today and scored the same as last year.
Now that he's getting food he likes, he's feeling and looking better. I can't help but think that has something to do with his good score on the memory test. He's still hungry all the time, though.
That's Dr. Scarmeas - terrific guy.
My father died peacefully on February 6, 2012. I had arrived a few hours before he died, so I had time to sit by him and talk and even moisten his lips with the long-promised scotch I had with me. I don't know if he heard me, but he smacked his lips from the scotch, My father had Alzheimer's and had donated his brain to the Alzheimer's study he'd been part of at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. I'll continue to post for a while.
