Wow! I just watched a segment on the NBC Nightly News about Tennessee Vols basketball coach Pat Summitt's diagnosis of early onset dementia.

Then I saw this link which tells more of her story: Pat Summitt has Early Onset Alzheimers Disease

This is a feisty woman who is the NCAA's winningest college coach anywhere, man or woman.

She was diagnosed a few months ago, and her first response was denial. Now she is talking publicly, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.

Anyone have any advice for her?

Country & Western singer, Glen Travis Campbell, announced recently that he has been diagnosed with something similar to Pat Summitt's problems: I think he said early stages of Alzheimer's.
