laughter is supposed to extend our life by at least five here so
00:00:10

00:00:16
because i grew up on cinderella i probably watch it too many times
00:00:22
and like the way it back to the early versions of cinderella and i always envisioned that there
00:00:27
would not be a knight in shining armour that would rescue me and take care of me
00:00:33
wrong no only mean the fairy tale in fees go back ever tells you you have to
00:00:39
clean up after the course so that was a life and what we go there
00:00:46
yeah i think that the young women in the audience and i
00:00:49
say young because i am out riding on your behalf
00:00:54
is that forget the titles go with this stereotype
00:00:59
in this isn't for where you can be both yourself in your expertise and
00:01:05
be valued in a way that the water seal all women value
00:01:10
um i used to be very appropriate i was a journalist
00:01:14
or a new but uh diseases made me fearless
00:01:19
and forget all that fancy introduction by sylvia i'd
00:01:23
like to introduce myself of another way
00:01:28
we're going to be looking at the so so that's like the social
00:01:31
aspects of woman's brain in metal hell the gaps the caregiver burden
00:01:36
but this is to lie yeah i was a journalist left to read
00:01:40
my career when my husband got sick with early onset alzheimer's
00:01:44
uh i vowed never to write a book because i'd interviewed too many people with nothing to say
00:01:51
uh but then i became very concerned that it was a disease that
00:01:54
was being romantic size because they had no your disease modifying therapy
00:02:01
so i set out to tell the story a a good and this is where i ended up i
00:02:14
ah ah okay oh i am a prisoner of all time 'cause i'm extension of distancing i thought come hell
00:02:23
the speaker for both the terms that they have no voice for caregivers or more now
00:02:39
this is the dark side of forms yeah
00:02:45
so the fusion hum i'm free for all
00:03:02
north korea or where are
00:03:16
for generations say on a seven um this is not the way
00:03:20
one of them and their ally
00:03:26
ooh so i went public ha ha
00:03:34
and i was very honest and then when i went out in front of
00:03:38
the audience is i felt during make it because i'd been so modest
00:03:43
which is not a good way to feel at my age so for those of you writing a
00:03:47
book come talk to me first out i don't think about myself i think about the issue
00:03:54
locally we have to i see pain everywhere is a caregiver crossed the disease spectrum
00:04:00
but look at that little burden of dementia and we're it's impacting both economies
