What does she know? Yesterday Pat reminded her that she has Alzheimers. She had forgotten. She accepted the information. ‘I must know the truth.’
I have found a notebook, only the first page is written on – and Anna’s writing is already altered, so it must have been about seven years ago, before her diagnosis:
Ey sight not clear
Jumpy movements
Upper chest
area
clumsy
link with
my slipped
disk
one year ago
lower back
clumsy
fewer
control
sleep late
Her list of symptoms then is consistent with now. She was looking for reasons, causes. She is still trying to work it out.
