My Aunt is Showing Signs of Alz

A few months ago I heard an unconfirmed rumor. My aunt is showing signs of Alz. After talking to my mother and a few other relatives it was unconfirmed.

I hadn't seen her in over a year. Here is what I noticed

1. Her gait was greatly changed, and she walked with her hands in a funny way. More of a shuffle.

2. Her facial affect had changed greatly. She didn't smile and laugh like she used to.

3. She didn't talk like she used to. She used to be the life of the party and offer tons of new information about everything. This time, nothing!

4. She had a great sentence that people in Alzheimer's care, would refer to as word salad.

I guess time will tell, but it seems pretty obvious to me that she is showing the signs!
