Zuva reWorld Alzheimer's

"Hesi Sekuru," ndakadaro ndichipinda mukamuri inochengeterwa vakwegura yakanga isina utachiona, asi inonyaradza zvisingaite. Paive pakagara murume aive agara ari shasha muhupenyu hwangu, uya wandaida kuti sekuru nasekuru kumwanakomana wangu aive negore rimwe chete. Airatidza kupfava uye akadzikama, akagara pamucheto wemubhedha wake wemuchipatara. Collette, ambuya vangu vokurera, akanga ave nechokwadi chokuti airatidzika zvakanakisisa, asi meso ake airatidzika kuva ari kure, arasika munyika yatisingagoni kusvika. Ndiine mwanakomana wangu, ndakaswedera pedyo, ndisingazivi kuti kusangana uku kwaizoitika sei.

Sezvo maminitsi aifamba, ndakazviwana ndagara pedyo naSekuru, ndichiita nhaurirano yakarerekera kudivi rimwe pamusoro pekamuri ravo uye bhaisikopo rokuMadokero dema nechena rairidzwa paterevhizheni. Kunyangwe mhinduro dzake dzaive shoma, ndakawana pfungwa yekunyaradza pamberi pake. Pashure pemhosho iyoyo yokutanga, ndakasiya mazita okuremekedza uye ndakamudana nezita rake. Akanga asisandione semuzukuru wavo kana kuti amai vangu semwanasikana wavo. Alzheimer's, panguva yayo yekupedzisira, yakanga yamubira zvine hutsinye kubatana ikoko. Pasinei neizvi, chandaishuva kwaiva kupedza nguva naye, kuti ndive chero waaindiona.

Ndisingazvizivi, kushanya uku kwakaratidza nguva yokupedzisira kuona Sekuru ndisati ndaenda kuchipatara. Mwedzi mina gare gare, kuwa kunosuruvarisa kwakatungamirira kukutyoka mapfupa, uye haana kuzombodzokera kwatiri. Nzvimbo inochengeterwa varwere yakanyaradza kwete Sekuru chete, asiwo kuna Collette, amai vangu, nevanin’ina vavo mumazuva iwayo okupedzisira. Sezvaaichinja kubva muupenyu huno, handina kukwanisa kuita kunze kwokunzwa kuti akanga atobva zvishoma nezvishoma kubva munzvimbo yedu mumakore mashoma apfuura.

Sekuru vakanga vari munhu akakurumbira muColorado, aichimbova mumiririri wehurumende anoremekedzwa, gweta rine mukurumbira, uye sachigaro wemasangano akawanda. Muhuduku hwangu, airatidzika kuva mukuru, apo ini ndakanga ndichiri kuedza kufamba muhujaya ndisina chido chikuru chechimiro kana kuremekedzwa. Kuonana kwataiita kwaisava nekanguva, asi pandakazowana mukana wekuva pedyo naye, ndaida kutora mukana uyu kuti ndizive sekuru zviri nani.

Pakati pekufambira mberi kweAlzheimer, chimwe chinhu chakachinja mukati meSekuru. Murume uyu aizivikanwa nekungwara kwake akatanga kuratidza divi raakanga achengeta—kudziya kwemwoyo wake. Kushanya kwaamai vangu kwevhiki nevhiki kwakakurudzira hurukuro dzakapfava, dzerudo, uye dzine musoro, kunyangwe kuchena kwavo kwakaramba, uye pakupedzisira, haana kutaura. Kubatana kwake naCollette kwakaramba kusingagutsikane, zvichionekwa kubva mukusimbiswa kwaakatsvaga kubva kwaari panguva yekushanya kwangu kwekupedzisira kunzvimbo inochengeterwa vakwegura.

Pave nemwedzi kubva pakafa Sekuru, uye ndinozviwana ndichifunga nezvemubvunzo unoshungurudza: tingaite sei zvinoshamisa sekutumira vanhu kumwedzi, asi tichiri kutarisana nekushungurudzika kwezvirwere zvakaita seAlzheimer's? Nei pfungwa dzakangwara kudaro dzaifanira kubva munyika ino kuburikidza nechirwere chetsinga chinopera simba? Kunyange zvazvo mushonga mutsva uchipa tariro yekutanga-kutanga-Alzheimer's, kusavapo kwemushonga kunosiya vanhu vakaita saSekuru kuti vatsungirire kurasikirwa kwavo zvishoma nezvishoma kwavo nenyika yavo.

PaZuva rino reWorld Alzheimer's, ndinokukurudzira kuti upfuurire kungoziva uye kufungisisa kukosha kwenyika isina chirwere chinoshungurudza. Wakamboona kudzimwa zvishoma nezvishoma kwendangariro dzemudiwa, hunhu, uye musimboti nekuda kweAlzheimer's? Fungidzira nyika ine mhuri dzinenge dzisina marwadzo okuona vavanoda vachipera. Fungidzira nzanga ine pfungwa dzakasvinura sedzaSekuru dzichigona kuramba dzichigovera huchenjeri hwavo nezvavakasangana nazvo, zvisina kudzorwa nezvinetso zvehosha dzeuropa.

Funga nezvesimba rakadzama rekuchengetedza kukosha kwehukama hwedu hunodiwa - kuona rufaro rwekuvapo kwavo, vasina kuremerwa nemumvuri weAlzheimer's. Mwedzi uno, ngativei vamiririri veshanduko, tichitsigira tsvakiridzo, tichikurudzira kuti mari iwande, uye kusimudzira ruzivo nezve kushaya kweAlzheimer kumhuri uye nevanhu.

Pamwe chete, tinogona kushanda takananga kune ramangwana apo Alzheimer inodzoserwa munhoroondo, uye ndangariro dzevadikani vedu dzinoramba dzakajeka, pfungwa dzavo dzinogara dzakajeka. Pamwe chete, tinogona kuunza tariro uye kufambira mberi, pakupedzisira tichishandura hupenyu hwemamiriyoni kuzvizvarwa zvichauya. Ngatifungidzirei nyika iyo ndangariro dzinotsungirira, uye Alzheimer inova muvengi ari kure, akakundwa, achisimbisa nhaka yerudo nekunzwisisa.
