I lost one to it and now my second is also near to the end with it. Absolutely terrible illness. My nan practically became a different person. It's horrible to watch.Wasn't he diagnosed with dementia?
There won't be much(good) news on him from now on unfortunately.
Lost 2 grandparents to it and it will just get steadily worse until the inevitable happens sadly
Sorry to hear that man, it’s such a shame to watch that happen to people we love so much. Just remember all of the happy memories you have of them, write them down and keep them. When they finally go, don’t let that horrible disease be what you remember of them, because as you said, it’s a different person to the one you had all those beautiful memories with.I lost one to it and now my second is also near to the end with it.

I hope Sir Bobby enjoys the rest of his life as well as he can.
Thanks man. Sorry to hear about yours, too. I have been trying to remember the good memories. Writing them down would be a good idea. My nan was always a very funny woman. I remember a lot of the funny things she said. My grandad is in a nursing home now. We were told he had about 2 months to live, but who knows if that'll be the case. He's not on the same level my nan was, but he's struggling to communicate and can't walk any more. Can't really do anything for himself.Sorry to hear that man, it’s such a shame to watch that happen to people we love so much.

I always knew dementia was bad, but I don't think I realised how bad until I saw it with my own eyes.
An alarming amount of 50s and 60s era footballers have suffered with it.Dennis Law has dementia as well.
It is an age thing mate and footballers age as well.An alarming amount of 50s and 60s era footballers have suffered with it.

They're 3.5 times more likely to get it . Getting hit in the head isn't good for anyone, but at least the modern balls are pretty lightweight and they are informed of the risks.It is an age thing mate and footballers age as well.
Oh thanks for the patronising bit of information within a thread regarding a very serious topic.It is an age thing mate and footballers age as well.
The risk for a boxer must be off the charts then?They're 3.5 times more likely to get it . Getting hit in the head isn't good for anyone, but at least the modern balls are pretty lightweight and they are informed of the risks.
