Sandra Day O’Connor announces likely Alzheimer’s diagnosis

Quote
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman on the Supreme Court, announced Tuesday that she has the beginning stages of dementia, “probably Alzheimer’s disease.”

O’Connor made the announcement in a letter. The 88-year-old said her diagnosis was made some time ago and that as her condition has progressed she is “no longer able to participate in public life.”

The poor woman. I wouldn’t wish Alzheimers on my worst enemy. I wish her peace.

There was a 50/50 shot at Alzheimer's by her age.  But she has done her life's work, so hopefully she is taken before it advances.

The original story above has disappeared from my news feed.  Here is a better one from Fox:

Didn't realize her late husband had Alzheimers.
