-- Las Vegas, United States – August 12th, 2014 /PressCable/ —
Dementia translates as ‘deprived of mind.'
Las Vegas, Nevada, August 2014 -
Nancy was diagnosed with Alzheimer's late last year. Just a few days after the diagnosis, Nancy began waking up in the early morning hours compelled to write. The result of her new-found obsession is a book. It is a
series of poems depicting her experiences and challenges since receiving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's. The book is due out August 15th, 2014, called Blue.River.Apple. The title stems from the three words she was given as a test for Alzheimer's. Obviously, she failed that test, but not the fight.
“One day my world changed abruptly. In September 2013, my daughter and I sat at a doctor's office tightly holding hands, sweaty and
nervous, waiting for the outcome of medical tests and final opinions. We were
expecting better, but received a diagnosis of the most dreaded kind – Early
on-set Alzheimer's.
Dementia translates as “deprived of mind”. Confirmation
that I was to follow my father's footsteps jarred me in ways I never imagined.
Blue.River.Apple. expresses my journey through poetry.”
