  It was in August 1992 that Dr R. Porter requested a brain scan for Louis Blank. Louis had been deteriorating for more than a year, from a man of intelligence to the point where he could not recognize his daughter. The written confirmation that Louis Blank was suffering from Alzheimer's disease was supplied in 1993. In 1995, Louis may have cured himself. This is an account of Alzheimer's disease as it is experienced from within. And to this Louis has added those experiences of his wife and daughter, who were dealing with the social effects of his behaviour in the outside world. This book reveals Louis's defiance in the face of Alzheimer's. It should also be useful for any family which is trying to understand the situation and provide the right kind of support.
