my ability to recall great amounts of detail for any length of time is one of my favorite attributes. I spend a significant amount of time alone and many of my favorite adventures I've traveled solo. There is no one but me to remember all the details.
Alzheimers scares the crap out of me. I would rather find a way to end my life rather than suffer myself and my family through that. My lucidity and my intelligence are what keep me moving and living and motivated.
Question then becomes if my family would honor my wishes since Alzheimers is gradual and it is most likely that you don't know your marbles are gone.
