Wayne is holding a key in his non-dominant hand to unlock the door. He is also holding an upside down calendar. Both are good neurobic exercises for your brain.

Back when we were caring for our Mama, I remember wondering if her condition might be genetic. At the time, we didn’t even know for sure if she had Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. Mama did have a brain scan at the time, but that was almost 20 years ago, and there were not as many diagnostic resources back then. More research has been conducted, along with advances in diagnosing.
If you are caring for a loved one with dementia, especially one of your parents, it is likely that at some point, you have wondered if you may inherit it as well.

Turn your cards, calendar, or pictures upside down to help your brain learn new ways of looking at things.

Neurobics, changing the way we look at things

After caring for Mama throughout the last decade or so of her life while dementia relentlessly stole bits and pieces from both her abilities and memories, I am more committed than ever to do everything I can to strengthen my brain and hopefully prevent dementia from occurring in my own life. Of course, at the same time, I realize that there is an element of illness that is beyond anyone’s control. Regardless, I enjoy the healthy lifestyle that Wayne and I are pursuing and will continue it for as long as possible.
