Don't forget the signs of Alzheimer's disease

Don’t we all know someone called Whatsisname? And, aren’t most gadgets in the kitchen called Thingamabobs? And when I open the refrigerator for heaven knows what, aren’t I sure that heaven knows and it’s just me that doesn’t?

Yes, it happens to all of us, but once in a while we all wonder if we have Alzheimer’s. Don’t we?

The following are ten warning signs of Alzheimer’s excerpted from the Alzheimer’s Association website. It’s important we know them. They are:

1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. You forget recently learned information, or important dates or events; or you ask the same question over and over.

2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. You see changes in your ability to develop or follow a plan, such as following the directions for a familiar recipe. Or you find it difficult to track monthly bills.
