Leo did not have Alzheimer's he was diagnosed at first with Parkinson's but six months later they said he had PSP which is Progressive binocular palsy when I looked it up on the internet it sounded more like Lou Gehrig's disease even though the doctor said it was a cousin to Parkinson's it did affect his mind although he knew everybody but his body deteriorated he was unable to eat solid foods and all his food had to be pureed he was in a memory care unit close to home.
