I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I was on the planning committee for the Alzheimer's Association Tri-Cities Alzheimer's and Dementia Conference on November 6. I was originally to speak, but I ended up as the event photographer... But that's OK. Dr. Kris Rhoads from Harborview was the main speaker, and he discussed most of what I would have wanted to say. And he's more qualified than me. He presented from the medical professional's point of view, and I would have spoken from the standpoint of the person with the disease.
The conference went very well, and I was glad to be a part of it.
The Alzheimer's Association said that they will want me to speak at an event in the spring, but I'm not sure where that's going and whether it will be sizeable.
I'm also on the planning committee for a dementia conference that will take place sometime late next year, somewhere near Seattle.
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.
