Gooseberry Crumble 5,344 Posted May 10, 2018 2 hours ago, coffee_and_candles said: Just read in a tweet from Sky News that Barbara Windsor has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. The diagnosis was four years ago and according to her hubby has been managed with meds since then, in recent weeks her ‘memory loss and confusion have grown worse’ though... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44062921 The sad news now confirmed by BBC News on their webpage . I suspected something was amiss when she missed the Pride of Britain awards show last year as she was a regular attendee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted May 10, 2018 8 hours ago, Sir Creep said: So her diagnosis would have basically come on the heels of this July 2013 declaration: ”she is definitely Well Fit and I hereby predict that she will do for a good few years yet. Thus Spake Tuber Mirum.” Isn't 5 years a good few? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A steady decline, and to be honest we’re not expecting her to see Christmas as she’s now mostly asleep and very frail. But she is 88 so a bit older than Babs. A very cruel disease. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
