Drew Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Alzheimers is a grim condition. Terrible for the sufferer, and awful for the family, too. Jimmy's will have many periods of lucidity in the earlier phase of the illness, though, and great credit to him for going public in order to raise awareness. Very courageous. Sadly, the earlier the onset, the more rapid tends to be the progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
