DEpending on how far the disease has advanced, the answer varies.

The patient may have some good days interspersed with the bad; the memory may be somewhat sharper even at certain times of the day.
However, there may come a time when certain memories are lost forever.

I have read and even seen videos that music that was once familiar to a patient, and to which he/she may sing along, can , in effect, kick-start the memory for a brief period. Perhaps that would work with seeing known objects or places.

The return of memory would be temporary.

Me too. Was planning on Oct., but son just announced

that he'll be getting married in early Nov., so I'll wait until after that.

We all tend to get a trifle righteous, at times.

Sorry, I don't mean to divert from the subject of your thread; it just came out.

Reid could at least come out and support the state Dem ticket as a whole.

If the candidate for Governor is not a good candidate, he/she can bring down the whole ticket, and a lot of bad things flow from that, as we're all finding out now in various states.

Send in General Honore' - he of Katrina fame.

(Yes, I know he's retired, but I bet he'd step right up and make the right things happen.)

Ron Johnson is doing a good job, as best he can, but he may have been outranked by the National Guard, Ot , at least, it may feel that way.
