Bruce Willis' frontotemporal dementia diagnosis reveals an uncomfortable truth

[panader0]

4. My dad and brother both suffered from dementia. It was not easy to watch them fade away.

They both ended up in facilities, shuffling down halls, doped up like zombies to calm them.
My brother used to beg me to help him escape. There was no way I could take care of him.
I believe (hope) that I take after my mother's side of the family, all sharp witted until the end.
I try to monitor myself to see if I'm still with it. So far, so good. But if I ever get the diagnosis
I'll be checking out. Suicide is far more desireable than dementia. A person with dementia needs
constant supervision, and most places don't really give it to you. My brother had VA care, and the
halls of his locked up place reeked of bodily waste and the patients are blank faced.
I just need a few more years of clarity to straighten up my affairs and I'm good to go.
