Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing to do for loved ones that are developing signs of that disease? Only print the pictures and names off and make a quilt for them? Pictures that said, "My daughter, Janie" or "My husband, Don" or even "My dog, Jasper."
That's what I was thinking about while I watched the show and just thought I'd share.

For those of you that have mothers/fathers/grandparents with forms of dementia, did you know that there are tests out there now that will detect the onset YEARS before your first symptom? One is a type of PET scan on the brain and another is testing of the spinal fluid. They test the spinal fluid for two different proteins, if they're present your chances of developing a problem are really high. ANYWAY, if you have any form of dementia in your family you should be tested. There are medicines available, that if started early enough, can post-pone the onset by years and years and quite possible prevent it from ever developing. Great strides are being made in early detection and prevention. If you're an "at risk" person you should check with your doctor.
