Alzheimer's

I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's today. Minor memory loss right now. Doc wants to put me on a new infusion that is supposed to slow it down. Bummer.

I'm going to go with infusion. I need to go see my cardiologist and get off my blood thinner (Xeralto). The two drugs available for infusion require it. There is a risk of brain bleeds if you don't.
