Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia are scary. Amazing the things that can help some folks.

Wow. I've been reading for several years that Wii games can be appropriate for stroke recovery. But ping pong for Alzheimer's patients.

the ones who stick with it experience big changes in alertness, balance and coordination, Zaretsky said. And they find unexpected little joys their disease hasn't yet extinguished.
I watched and hoped against hope as dementia stole my father from everyone who cared about him. I saw it take a great aunt bit by bit.

There is awful stuff in the world - Alzheimer's for instance - but there are miracles, too.
