My Papa on my mom’s side died of Alzheimer’s Disease, as did my Grandma on my father’s side- not to mention the many other great aunts, great uncles, and cousins who also met their fate through the terrible disease.
I figure the odds are stacked against me genetically, but I’m going to do everything humanly possible to try and not let it get me. My brain in probably my best asset, next to my eyes, and the idea of losing control of it scares the shit out of me.
