Gaming with Alzheimer's

Post by Broomstick »

Wasn't sure where to put this, had thought of gaming, but then put it here so if the mods want to move it please do so.

This is about a gentleman who plays World of Warcraft and has early-onset Alzheimer's. I know him from another on-line forum (yes, I'm one of the "other players" who have helped him) and while I'm sad to see his intellectual abilities diminishing with the passage of time I really do admire him for making the most of what he has left.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. Leonard Nimoy.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.- Malcolm Reynolds, Captain of Serenity, which sums up my feelings regarding the lawsuit discussed here.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. - John F. Kennedy
