Three more boxes of puzzles have been shipped out so far this week.

Thanks to Carole Larkin of Third Age Services, requests for puzzles are coming in frequently from Texas. I’m sure these puzzles will help many Alzheimer’s patients.

My Day at a Memory Clinic

I had an amazing day today. I had the opportunity to be in a hospital setting and be involved in memory clinic for veterans.

I also learned about quite a number of different clinical trials and drug combinations that are being tested to help Alzheimer’s patients.

It makes me feel hopeful because, if all this great work to find real help for Alzheimer’s patients is going on in just one hospital, then I know there must be thousands of smart researchers out there that are really trying to help.
