| Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia Such a sad story. Summitt, in my opinion, is one of the best coaches of any sport ever. Pat Summitt, Tennessee women’s basketball coach, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease - The Washington Post Pat Summitt's legacy extends far beyond court for Tennessee Lady Vols - ESPN

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia Extremely sad. I love her attitude though- "I don't want a pity party." |

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia This sucks. My Dad's best friend (and former US Ambassador to Cyprus and National Security Advisor to President Clinton), who is like a second father to me, was diagnosed with early onset in 2005. My Dad literally threw up the day he got the news. I cried a lot that day. The projected life expectancy 5+ years past initial diagnosis is pretty grim. It's been really sad and gut wrenching watching such a brilliant and accomplished man fade like this. A million prayers to Pat Summitt. It's going to be a tough road.

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia Sad to hear this. My Grandfather is going through this right now, but he's 84. At 59 Summit is too young to have to face this. |

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia Horrible disease. Then again no disease is a great disease, but I can't imagine having your mind slowly robbed from you.

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia You know I've often wondered, for those who are near the end of their lives is it worse to know what's going on, or worse to have no idea? |

| Re: Pat Summitt Diagnosed with Dementia Quote:
I felt awful (as did the rest of my family of course). All my grandparents died when I was very young, basically a toddler. So the only one I knew was this one grandmother (died when I was in college) and she and I would write letters to each other every week (this is when people wrote letters). And we'd talk every Sunday. For her to suddenly have no idea who I was was just devastating. It's hard enough to see someone you love sick, but then to have them not recognize you....brutal
