It is said that Alzheimer’s patients age three
or four times faster than other people. So the average lifespan of Alzheimer’s
patients is about ten years.
Wait a
minute! My mother was diagnosed eleven years ago. If she had aged three times
faster, she would be one hundred and two years old today. And if she had aged
four times faster, she would be one hundred and thirteen years old today. It
would have been something on the level of a world record.
My
mother doesn’t have any serious illness except Alzheimer’s disease. She looks
her age. She doesn’t look over one hundred years old.
Alzheimer’s disease is a mysterious disease.
People say many things about it, but some of them are not true.
