TAMPA, Fla. -- At 53, Michele Hall was at the height of her legal career. She’d just sent her three kids to college. She had decades ahead with her husband Doug — after nearly 30 years of marriage, the couple looked forward to celebrating 30 more.
Then came the shocking diagnosis. Michele had Alzheimer’s disease.
The illness forced her into early retirement. Michele went from legal powerhouse to full-time patient. She was forced to give up her driver’s license. Her independence. Her supersonic reading ability. Her family’s days became consumed with worry about what Alzheimer’s would take next.
