I was with my brother last night listeing to him. He went on for about an hour, talking about not being in his house, wanting to go to his mother’s/father’s house, wanting to take a plane trip…He just went on and on. I was able to understand a lot of the wirds, but I noticed that he was slurring his words and running them all together. The way hevspoke was new…
are there different stages of speech with alzheimers ?
