As a senior citizen, 82 years old at this writing, I am very concerned about my physical and mental well-being. In addition, I have at least five cases of Alzheimer’s or dementia on both sides of my family. So, I consider myself very vulnerable.
Since starting this blog in 2010, I have done a lot of reading and writing on this subject. I thought it might be helpful to you if I put it all in one place – here.
