MY SHRINKING BRAIN: DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN presents an amazing
journey, starting when the author is diagnosed with early onset
Alzheimer's disease. Accepting is one thing, dealing is another. It
offers hope and proffers ways to cope. Presenting updated medical
information, doors long closed are broadly opened with candor,
compassion and comedic humor. "There's a saying; A little knowledge
is a dangerous thing. In my opinion, no knowledge is dangerous. In
learning, there is no danger. The more we learn, the more
enlightened we become about a disease that's been shrouded in
mystery for decades. Mystery, fear, wild conjectures and always
with a bad ending," says author Barbara Sharik. "Learning won't
change the inevitable ending but it will allow for a safer journey
en route... I want to know everything there is to know. It's like
lightning striking. Suddenly, out of the blue it matters, and what
matters most is that this brain shrinkage is happening to me, right
now. My brain is shrinking," she says, adding, "Isn't that the way
it often is? Unless you are directly involved, unless it's
happening to you personally, it's just background noise. Static on
a radio station. Bzzzzzzzzzz. Now, I am dancing as fast as I can."
Despite the severity of the disease discussed, this is an
enlighteningly unique yet pleasant read. An important book, it will
grace the lives of sufferers, their families and caregivers for
years to come. The brutality of the disease will frighten you, even
as it informs you. Reading a firsthand account, will change you.
There is no way that it cannot.
