Did You Forget How or Why? Has Your Brain Gone on a Holiday?

Alzheimer’s disease is a brain disorder named for German physician Alois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. Scientists have learned a great deal about Alzheimer’s disease in the century since Dr. Alzheimer first drew attention to it. Today we know that Alzheimer’s:

Is a progressive and fatal brain disease. More than 5 million Americans now have Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer's destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. Today it is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States.

Last year I attended two funerals of two very close Friends and they were 10 days apart. The first Man was my age and I met him in 1969.

He contracted Alzheimer's four years ago. The heart break that it caused his wife, who was also our wonderful friend, was distressing to say the least. This Lady had been a Nurse in her younger days and she knew what to expect, The gradual and progressive deterioration of the body and the diminishing mental capacity. Every Friday I would go to their house and look after him for four hours to allow Val and his wife to go to exercises for their body's sake. When he died in hospital, he died because all his muscles had given up and he could not swallow anymore. This wonderful friend of ours attracted 185 people to his funeral. I regarded that as a lot of People.

The other gentleman, I met in 1955 and he had been good friends in New Zealand, He came to Australia and over the years we had separated and drifted apart. He had fallen over in the Street and was taken to the Hospital in an ambulance, not expected to live. I was notified by our relatives in New Zealand of this accident and in the following week, I managed to see him four times and he was failing before my eyes. He had Alzheimer's disease as well but it was in a different manner. At his funeral there were three other people present, apart from me.

I did not believe I will get 185 people to my funeral, but I do hope there will be more than 10. That is just a personal feeling and nothing to do with Alzheimer's. We are not going to discuss the difference of the funeral capacity. That also has nothing do with Alzheimer's either.

Now that we have gone through all the fun things above.

We will proceed to the serious part of this discussion: -

It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany! (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany..)

Anyway, during the flight, TWO engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany..

Where would you bury the survivors?

East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land'?
