Hello Purplehead

Like you I was diagnosed with vascular dementia at the age of 51, almost 2 years ago now. I also had a stroke.

This is a dreadful disease. Some days we could conquer the world, other days we can barely communicate.

The constant I that you are among friends here who know and understand.

Keep talking to us

John
