It's not Alzheimer's

I started crying. Right there, on a jobsite of some terrible temporary job I was working. Standing in a dirty warehouse while my partner kept working.

I cried.

The doctor says it is dementia caused by stress, depression, and PTSD. It’s not Alzheimer’s.

I sat down and cried.

We’re going to start him on an anti-depressant and I have a number for a counselor that specializes in veterans. Can you believe this? Dad is so relieved. I’m going to call your brothers and let them know. He might not get all his memory back, but we can certainly stop anymore loss, and probably make it much better. The doctor said it is not Alzheimer’s.
