...nobody plans to get Alzheimer’s when they’re 55.”
Valerie was 57 when diagnosed on July 14, 2008...it was most definitely not something we planned for.
The neurologist was actually in tears when he gave us the diagnosis. Valerie's response was strange, she acted with the proper sense of "oh my god", but as if it were happening to someone else, not her.
I'm happy that Julianne Moore won the Oscar for her performance. It may help others who may not be planning for this to happen to them.
