Welcome to the last episode of #survivingalzheimers for this year. The team is taking a break for the next couple of weeks, and then we will be back with new episodes the second week of January.
Over the last year or so, I’ve interviewed my brother-in-law several times about different subjects. Known to many as Tio Willie, he is actually leading neurologist and Alzheimer's researcher Dr. William Justiz. We start with a big question for me - why did Mom forget my name, her caregiver, her best friend, the one closest to her? And what do you do and say when someone you love says, "What’s your name?" We also talk about the last thing you forget.
Tickets go on sale for The Woman in the Mirror at Revolution Stage Company in Palm Springs on January 4th. The show runs in March - I hope you can make it!
Thanks again for listening to #survivingalzheimers. It’s a labor of love honoring my late mother Fran Nicholson, and a love letter to caregivers. Please know you are not alone. We are here with you.
