My Dad was diagnosed 4 years ago.
He is 75 and as healthy as a horse.
Very active his entire life and has been the light of my son's life since he's been form.
But the past few months I have noticed his train of thought is always interrupted, he cannot find the words for common items etc.
I wonder what he feels.
Is he mad at the world, scared, does he know what is to come?
Should I ask him and talk to him about the disease or would that be like rubbing salt into the wound?
I am so mad at this dreadful degrading disease.
To take a healthy active man and turn him into a dependant aging person is just so unfair and so difficult to watch happen.
You would think at this day and age there would be a cure or at least better meds available to stop the progression better than there are now.
Sorry I need to vent. I am just so angry.
