maxjam Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Horrible disease that I experienced first hand with my Grandma, who rapidly forgot who I and her Grandchildren were. Hope they make the most of his remaining time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced dementia and Alzheimer's with far too many members of my own family (as I'm sure we all have) - probably the cruellest of diseases.

Pearl Ram Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Oh FFS no, I watched a documentary called I’ll Be Me, it was about Glen Campbell’s battle with it, as well as being an eye opener it was quite sad to see his deterioration, cruel disease.

sage Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 That's now 5 of the 1966 team have had or got dementia. It's still being linked to heading the ball, particularly the old heavy leather ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
