Episode Transcript
It started with Peggy, someone with Alzheimer's disease who never
knew my name and whom I accompanied at her nursing
home residence for twenty two years. Her influence in my
life and the values I received growing up with grandparents
in the home brought about what has become my life's
mission to advocate for those affected by Alzheimer's disease. My
(00:25):
name is Dana Turedo, and this is The Memory Whisper,
a podcast about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Like many
of you, I've seen the fear that can accompany an
Alzheimer's diagnosis. I've been a caregiver and advocate for more
than thirty years, and I've written extensively about the subject,
including in my book What My Grandchildren Taught Me About
(00:47):
Alzheimer's Disease. I've also witnessed firsthand the incredible resilience of patients, caregivers,
and health care providers, and I know how important community
is for the millions affected by the disease. Join me
each week as I endeavor to help you confront your
fears about Alzheimer's by sharing the knowledge and personal experiences
(01:09):
of those who've journeyed the disease firsthand, people like TV
personality Liza Gibbons and singer Jay Allen, both of whom
know what it's like to care for a family member
with the disease. Action is the antidote for fear.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You absolutely have to take one day at a time.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'll also share conversations with experts about how the disease
of African American population, why music is such a powerful
tool for affected individuals, and how the latest research could
change the way we care for patients in the years
to come.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We all dream about and pray for a Silver Boyd.
We're not there yet, and we may never be there.
That doesn't mean that we can't effectively manage this disease,
and it certainly doesn't mean that the strides, huge strides
that have been made in the past really five years,
are not hope generating and so important to know and understand.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Listen to the Memory Whispers starting November ninth on the
iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
