three years ago, i was working as a lawyer. for
a year or longer, my work was beginning to suffer. i 1 got to the point where i couldn't concentrate
--- one of the early signs that something was 2. i kept forgetting things.
legal work is complicated, and you have to have a good 3 to do that work. so i 4 my job. i talked to my doctor about my family's
5 of alzheimer's; my father and grandfather had
it. then i was asked to do some tests. it 6 that i have early-onset alzheimer's disease.
needless to say, my life has 7. my husband dan retired
soon after my diagnosis (诊断) 8 we spend a lot of time together. 9 going to work, i used to spend my days having
lunch with my friends and 10 my mother. i could drive up to see her before
i started getting 11. the situation wasn't 12, but i'd had to turn
around enough times that it frightened me. now i 13 drive out of town. i stay in town.
i am an independent person, but now i have to 14 some of that independence. my husband and i
mostly do the shopping together because i 15 the list.
dan and i are enjoying life while we can. some
people are saving money for trips years down the road. we're not 16, we take a trip every
year.
the one thing i wish i could change is people's 17 when i tell them i have alzheimer's. they shut
down. i can still 18; it's not like suddenly i
can't remember anything. this happened with my father. he was very 19, and he had lots of
friends. when his friends learned he got alzheimer's, they wouldn't come to
visit him. i think people should learn more about alzheimer's and 20 that people with the disease can still
socialize.
