Thanks for your letter No 14, Dr Moch.

Alzheimer’s is for me a scary condition.

I don’t know if keeping one’s mind busy wards off either the onset or the progression.

My mother and her siblings all got Alzheimer’s disease.

Brilliant world leaders like Margaret Thatcher, Nelson Mandela and Ronald Regan all had some form of dementia.

The person I look after at Sandringham Gardens had a brilliant business mind and is still permanently attached to his computer, but he has dementia and is delusional.

What does make me feel better, is that now I know there is one other person in South Africa who doesn’t have time for Nextflix.
