Thank you, Jo! Such basic information that we all tend to overlook at times. Just yesterday, I found myself talking with the wife of a recently diagnosed Alz. patient. He was right there, attempting to join the conversation, but clearly confused. I spoke exclusively with his wife, in his presence. I should have known better. I do know better.0
