Marjorie, indeed the internet is the greatest game!…….so far!

Hi Frannie, I’ve looked through this thread asking, “Who do you think McCain should choose as his running mate?” and saw nothing but attacks against the candidate. The polls I’ve seen show the race very close, but McCain supporters must be either silent or avoiding voicing their opinion because of the propensity of Obama supporters. Who would be your preference for a Republican #2, if I may ask?

You are so correct JMK. The anger, I guess seems to go with the early stages? My mother had dementia, was not Alzheimer’s, but her anger really intensifiedover the years. I would think that they get so frustrated. When I worked all those years for the internist, it appeared as though one’s personality problems become moreso, the assertive patients became more assertive, while the quiet, passive patients became so docile. I saw this time and again. When dad had his stroke with aphasia problems that got worse and worse, he would get so frustrated that he would start cussing because he could not get anything else out. Don’t you remember when Nancy Reagan would stand behind the president’s left shoulder and queue him his words? People don’t realize that alzheimer’s can take years to manifest itself. And, because McCain was incarcerated all those years in a prison camp, I suspect that he has permanent unresolved issues as a result. I simply think it is scary. We know we had one president in the Oval Office with it, this time I hope we vote with our eyes wide open. I will have you on my mind today because you are a very courageous person to endure this heartbreak with your loved one.
