“I do live well even though I have Alzheimer’s”

The best way that I find I can cope with it is just get on about my business like there is nothing wrong. However, it’s not always possible to do that, because sometimes it, I don’t know how to put it, but it almost comes up in front of you and you realise you have memory problems. But even though that happens I still, once it passes, get on with my life and live my life as if I had nothing wrong with me.

Anyhow, I do live well even though I have Alzheimer’s. I live well and I keep active, I read a lot, I paint and I keep myself busy, which distracts me, takes my attention from the fact that I have dementia.
