New to Alz

J & L are new to Alz. We have one support group in 52241 and we are the only active members. Our diagnosis is "Early-Stage" and we are in the upper 80s but otherwise in good health. We have freely shared our diagnosis. We are reading all we can about proper nutrition for dementia. We are active in National Senior Games plus local competitions. We are looking for active support groups and any information that we can get.
