There's a Great Tit singing in the garden 🐦

Have you tried an app called Merlin?
It identifys birds from their calls that are around the location you are in.

I meant dementia.

I don’t know how true this is, but, we were told that current diagnosis techniques cannot differentiate between dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The tests to describe do sound very similar to those Mrs @BoldonLad did, before diagnoses.

Pleasant little snooze has been snoozed 💤 👌

Very grey here today but a nice little ride nonetheless.

Vascular dementia is caused by the small blood vessels in the brain closing up and stopping the blood flow to the brain.
Alzheimers is a lack of proteins that keep the brain functioning on a daily basis.
The end result is more or less the same but from a different cause.
My Father suffered from Vascular dementia until his death aged 92.
There are detailed tests that can determine which is which.

My Sis i law (early 70s) has been diagnosed with "early-onset- dimentia" . She is not clear if that means its in the early stages or its happened earlier in life than is normal.

Q. Is it me or has one of our happy band gone AWOL ?

 

[Oldhippy]

I was wondering this too @Dave7
