Sandra Day O'Connor announces likely Alzheimer's diagnosis

AP

O'Connor said in a letter that she has the beginning stages of dementia, "probably Alzheimer's disease."  She is 88-years-old and her diagnosis was made a while ago and her condition has progressed such she is "no longer able to participate in pubic life." She says nothing has diminished her gratitude and deep appreciation for the countless blessing in her life and how fortunate she feels to be an American.

According to The Blonde, you don't know if it's Alzheimer's until she dies and there's an autopsy.

We have a tendency to label every kind of dementia Alzheimer's just because it's the best known.
