This afternoon I spent about an hour with a KVEW TV reporter at the gym. She is doing a story--maybe a series(?)--on Alzheimer's disease, and she had already interviewed a prominent local neurologist. I met her at the gym, showing up in my gym clothes.
During the interview she only asked a couple of leading questions and then allowed me to ramble on. I think I was pretty coherent, with a good grasp of my facts about AD and my personal history. After the interview she filmed me on the treadmill for about 10 minutes. She called it the B-roll. (I was familiar with the term, but didn't know what it meant.)
She said the story was likely to air on Thursday, depending on other news. She said they stream news on SBTV, but I couldn't figure out how to navigate to today's news. She said she'd get me more information later, including something on their web page.
When I get more info on when and how to actually see the interview or see the story on their web page I'll post it here.
In my book, "Beating the Dementia Monster," I describe what has occurred since 2015 when I first knew I had memory problems. (You can find it on Amazon.com.) I have experienced remarkable improvement, and I’m certain that I can share valuable information with many others. In this second edition I continue my story to 2020 and provide greater understanding of how Alzheimer's advances and why what I did worked.
