Just me & the Cat

Its early the house is quite just me and Lucky the Cat enjoying the new day. Vickie is sleeping, she normally will not rise until mid-morning. We had a good visit with her mom on Saturday, took her to dinner , she is 89 years old and still lives by her self and goes to the same church, the past 50 years .
We talked about HD and she said until Vickie was diagnosed she had not a clue it was in the family. Vickie's dad past away when he was about 65 with a heart condition .They always thought his moods and behavior were alcohol related . Vickie's brother remembers the movement issue but related them to the alcohol as well .The fact is many family do not know there is HD exposure in their life until a member is diagnosed. Unfortunately there are many misdiagnosed.
