To the Editor:
Re "Dementia's Signs May Come Early" (front page, July 18):
I am 88, and a procrastinator from birth. I have been complaining of memory loss, but have been constantly reassured.
Perhaps there would be a silver lining to a diagnosis of progressive dementia, even in the absence of any treatment. In my case, it would prompt me to start attacking all those things that I have been putting off for a rainy day.
Already I have updated the beneficiary designations on my insurance policies and other documents; I have started going through endless papers, to dispose of most of them, and organize and explain others to my descendants. I need to organize old family photos to give them names and stories (for those that might be of interest to my children).
I need to do various repairs to my house, to make it easier to sell. On the whole, I think that I would be stimulated into a much more active life.
