On A More Serious Note
Bibby asked me to post this. It's worth a read and a good topic to familiarize yourself with.
-------------
As you know, our country is getting older and many people are misdiagnosed as having Alzheimer's or just plain old age. Symptoms include difficulty walking, thinking clearly and an over all poor quality of life. New research has shown, some of these people could be suffering from NPH, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, which is fluid build up in the brain.
The below link is full of information regarding NPH as well as the story of Bob Fowler as seen on the Today show.
I feel very strongly about this because so many elderly are being diagnosed incorrectly and continue to suffer, along with their families. Some of these people probably have NPH, which is curable.
I am turning to all the people I know to get the word out for people to speak with their doctors about NPH and give these people their life back. I know my grandfather suffered from Alzheimer's and I was especially moved with the piece on Terrel Owen's grandmother during the super bowl.

Good words Bibby.
