This patient`s perspective on Alzheimer`s provides privileged access into the mind of one who knows that his faculties are diminishing. Debaggio uses what he has to the max, especially his long-term memory. He recalls what it was like to start his gardening business many years earlier, as well as the changes in his neighborhood over the years. He also records simple everyday events, and his emotional responses to what he knows is to come. WHEN IT GETS DARK is a sequel to his LOSING MY MIND.
