Good New from the ADRC

So yesterday, I got a call from the University of Washington's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC).  They wanted to give me feedback from my testing on March 17 that we discussed in this post.  My results had been reviewed by a neuropsycholgist, and they could share some insights.  The insight?  "You did just fine."  Which I already knew, since I've taken so many of these tests now.  

Because it was for research, they couldn't give me any details beyond that.  However, the principal investigator for the research is also my neurologist, and I'm to see her this summer ... I think.  Because this test was so comprehensive, I'm thinking they may not need to test me again, just do the other parts of a periodic evaluation.

So, it's now been a full 10 years since my initial diagnosis from my local neurologist, and it will be 10 years in July from my diagnosis in Seattle.  I feel well (for the most part), and my memory and cognition continue to be intact.  I can only attribute this to staying faithfully with the Dementia Toolkit.

When I said "for the most part," I was thinking about my continuing issues with cerebellar dysfunction ataxia.  That doesn't seem to be improving, at least not perceptibly.  Nevertheless, life is good.
