Just took the new Alzheimers 5 min test & passed!

Hooray -- no nursing home for me this week. British Medical Journal just reported on a new 5-minute test for Alzheimers, just 2 pages long. It's supposedly much more sensitive than other tests. Here's a link to the test on-line. It's biased in favor of Brits and against Americans because of one cultural question. So, don't freak over that one. Haven't found the scoring system yet but will post when I do. Best for you to answer every question successfully. That way you'll have a perfect score and know that you, too, will stay in the community for a while, at least.
