June marks Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a crucial time to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. This month emphasizes early diagnosis, support for affected families, and the importance of funding research to improve care and find solutions.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- Alzheimer’s primarily affects people over 65, impacting memory, judgement, language, and reasoning.
- It accounts for two-thirds of dementia cases worldwide.
- Symptoms start with short-term memory loss, progressing to behavioral changes and communication difficulties.
- Globally, dementia cases are expected to quadruple by 2050.
- Women, especially over 85, are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men.
- Neurological diseases like stroke, migraine, and Alzheimer’s cause significant global disability and mortality.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
- Early detection improves care and quality of life.
- Patients often self-isolate due to symptoms; community support is vital.
- Raising funds helps advance research and support services.
- Encourages adherence to medication and healthy lifestyle choices to reduce risk.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽:
- Wear purple during June to show support.
- Participate in local awareness events on June 20, the longest day of the year.
- Spread the word about prevention: exercise regularly, stay socially active, eat well, avoid smoking, get enough sleep, and engage your brain with reading and games.
- Support organizations working for Alzheimer's research and care.

Let’s unite this June to support those affected by Alzheimer’s and brain diseases. Early awareness saves lives and strengthens communities.

Sometimes visits are really good. Sometimes they're depressing. We've had a run of good visits recently, & today's was a beauty.❤️

I don't know what I did, but J thought I was hilarious, laughing long & loud every time she looked at me. It was absolutely wonderful. J even snuck in some looks letting me know she's still in there, even if she can't communicate normally. Those looks feel like recognition, making me feel like *I'm* still in there, too. 😁

More cleaning up yesterday. Still lots of sadness, but when G found this from Hawai'i, he simply had to set it up.

In its packet, I'd have donated it. Set up, it's staying. 🥲

It took me back to that time a Fijian cop/cum tourist driver drove us to our day's destination. I think he believed his dashboard dancing hula girl protected him, because he drove mainly straddling the centreline - over crests, around blind corners, etc. Funny in retrospect, but scary then! 😱

Since the big cleanup, I discovered that the Cancer Wellness op shop takes good clean clothes, AND knick knacks. J has so much of both.

Also, my local council accepts older used clothing. Any condition. Good stuff gets reused, crap gets recycled.

It's a real relief to know J's things won't end up as landfill, but will be reused, repurposed, & re-loved. I think J will approve. It makes me feel better, anyway😊

Large deposits made - council & op shop will get repeat visits!

#Progress!

Son #1 visited today, & helped go through J's stuff - clothes, books, etc.

I mentally struggle with this, but G was suitably ruthless, & we got a whole room sorted into garbage, donate, & keep. Donate bags are packed in the car, garbage bags are in the bin (full) or aside for future weeks. The room has a floor! Who knew? 😂

Yes, I still struggled, & couldn't speak at times (something in my eye), but we did it!

I'm sad, but really pleased. Next week, another room!

I did this podcast called Remember Me, which is an organization run by Rachel and Maria in honor of their loved ones who died of FTD. This episode is about me and my dad and how much I loved him. It's also about his early-onset Alzheimer's and how that broke all of us.

A full day of tests, brain scans and psychology tests and a physical exam.

I'm tired, hungry and exhausted.

All in the name or genetic Alzheimer's study. I know it's for a good cause.
