This Week’s Poll: Who Would You Tell?
Jan 19 2011 in Denise's Blog, Polls by Denise
Last week, our #eldercarechat on Twitter tackled the topic of early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Our topic was inspired by a recent New York Times article, Early Alzheimer’s Detection, But When to Tell the Patient?. One of our chat questions was: If you received an early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, who would you tell? So, on the heels of G-J’s post about breaking the news, I thought this same question would be a good one for this week’s poll, sponsored by Caregiving.com and eCareDiary.com. Please vote in our poll below and share your thoughts in our comments section.

That is a tough one. My personal desire would be to tell only close friends and family – in order to prepare them and so they could pray for me. At the same time, though, I would also want to help others who might have to follow in my footsteps so starting a blog about it is my second choice. Hmmmmm… A very interesting question, that is for sure.
