On #WorldAlzheimer'sDay, I want to thank #BruceMiller, #neurologist extraordinaire, for listening w/such #empathy to stories about my father, Jerry, so he could get to know him thru my memories & write #FindingTheRightWords w/me. What a gift he gave me - helping me honor my dad in the way I needed to - & the world. His knowledge of #dementia & ability to communicate it in a way that we can all understand is invaluable. Here is a photo of my dad laughing at his dad, my pop, who is being silly.

"No support was offered, no treatment plan, no signposting, no leaflets. I can’t tell you how lost and frightened I felt." #Scientists & #neurologists are working hard to understand what is happening in the #brain of someone with #Alzheimer's, #FTD, #CTE, #vasculardementia, and other forms of #dementia. But we know there are ways of helping people w/#dementia (not nearly enough, but still) & #caregivers.
It should not be like this.

#FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #WorldAlzheimer'sMonth.

It's #WorldAlzheimer'sMonth and I got to work with some brilliant people at #UCSF when writing #FindingTheRightWords with #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller. The book has images in black and white but the book website has the images in color. Here's one, created by Caroline Prioleau, that pictures key parts of the #cerebral #cortex. Knowing these words might be helpful when talking to #doctors. #EndAlz

September is #WorldAlzheimer'sAwarenessMonth. The #science of #brain health is making great strides thanks to #neurologists and other #researchers. Here is a chart, assembled by #UCSF #doctors, explaining the three different #variants of #aphasia that you or a loved one may be experiencing. #MRIs can determine where in the #brain the #damage is happening and correlate it to the type of aphasia. My beloved father, Jerry, who had #early-onset #Alzheimer's, had the #logopenic variant. #EndAlz
