SGC Admin: Alzheimer and Dementia are probably two of the most difficult situations a family has to work through and when a loved one first develops such a condition it can be almost undetectable. The Alzheimer Society of Durham Region shares the Ten early warning signs, and encourages everyone to ask questions of their health care providers should they have concerns about themselves or their loved ones.
Reading through the signs, some of them could relate to stress, everyday living, changes in environment (such as retiring). However, it is better to be safe then sorry, and the sooner diagnosis can be made the sooner treatment can begin, if caught early the chances of a better quality of life for the patient is expected.

You guys and gals catch on very quickly to the things you need to know, and while you can be a bit unconventional, unpredictable and some may say unreliable, it’s a different story when you get passionate about something or decide to sink your teeth into a project, watch out peeps, cos you won’t be able to change his/her mind and she/he will plow on ahead with focus and determination until the task is done or something else tickles the fancy…. ☺
Have a wonderful birthday and an awesome year ahead:
