We could always move to Georgia -- So, when will you bring Pia? -- Then I will take a taxi -- Well, your reputation will live on -- One day she will be gone, and this will all be left behind -- It seems we are dealing here with a special illness -- These days have finally come -- Part II: Scars. You want to put him in a locked unit like his mother? -- She told me she will work for free -- Well, don't worry about my loneliness -- Where is your mom? -- If you don't know math, that is not my problem -- You're my family -- Don't worry, things will work out.

520 |a Almost six million Americans--about one in every ten people over the age of sixty-five--have Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, and this number is projected to more than double by 2050. What is it like to live with and amid this increasingly prevalent condition--an affliction that some fear more than death? In My Father's Brain, the distinguished physician and author Sandeep Jauhar sets his father's descent into Alzheimer's alongside his own journey toward understanding this disease and how it might best be coped with, if not cured. -- adapted from jacket
