Message: [QUOTE="Gus Mahler, post: 2232970, member: 6072"] Digger, I very much appreciate your postings on this subject. I hope you will continue to do so. I don't have a particular point to make. I just want to add my own experiences on the subject to reinforce to everyone the realness of the problem. Last week we buried our father, 90, who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's. We lost our mother to the same disease (plus Parkinson's) in 2011. She went further with the Alzheimer's than Dad. It is a horrible thing to watch. And yes, the two extended nursing home stints completely wiped them out financially. My sincerest hope is that the American people will someday choose to support medical research to the extent that cures for these horrible diseases might be found. [/QUOTE]
