A Carer visits a Carers Anonymous Meeting !
Carers Anonymous Meeting Held 27th October 2011.
Good Evening Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I hope you will forgive me for being terribly nervous as I am unaccustomed to public speaking.
I admit, here tonight before you all that I am a carer.
I first started caring about 10 years ago. I thought that it was a macho thing to do at the time. I was sure I could manage it, after all it seemed so simple and straightforward and I could fit it in with the other things I was doing, like full time work and general DIY round the house and garden.

Who would have thought that just by having cataract surgery, patients with Alzheimer’s would not only improve their vision, but also their lives?
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at Tenon Hospital in Paris found that patients,who are suffering from a mild case of Alzheimer’s disease, also improved their cognitive ability, mood, sleep pattern, and other behaviors after seeking to improve their vision through cataract surgery.

Brigette Girard, lead researcher of the study found that Alzheimer’s patients who have improved their vision through cataract surgery had improved lives.
The study specifically centered on whether or not cataract surgery could benefit Alzheimer’s patients.
