Transcript & show notes: DementiaSherpa.com/Episode97.

Phil Gutis, Assistant Sherpa, is with us again today. Phil is a former New York Times reporter and current contributor, an Alzheimer's advocate, and a man living with Alzheimer's disease. Phil was diagnosed three years ago at age 54.

One of our recurring topics is the terminology in Dementia World. One of the words that’s commonly used in this world that I really don’t like is “journey.” After listening to what Phil has to say about it, I’ve started to think about that differently.

A couple other things you need to know before we jump into the episode: There’s a point, around the 24ish minute mark, where we head in a totally different direction than I anticipated. I was a bit shocked when it happened in real-time.

Second, what you’ll hear in this episode is from part of a longer than usual recording session, recorded later in the day than usual.

As a result, you’ll notice some changes in Phil’s language. There are spots where words don’t come as easily or quickly as usual.
