Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease:
– Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, which means that it will continue to get worse as it develops.
Early symptoms include:
– Minor memory problems
– Difficulty saying the right words
– Disorientation
– Personality changes
– Behavioural changes
– Disorientation
– Delusions, believing things that are untrue
– A belief that you have done or experienced something that never happened

From going on a Kenyan safari, to taking a balloon ride over Norwich, and even winning a medal in an international dancing competition, the 82-year-old can now say she has done it all.
