What would you do if you could turn back time on Alzheimer's?

If you could have your Alzheimer's-affected parent back to his or her normal self for 24 hours, what would you most like to do? (Choose one.)

I'm not sure.
I'd ask about her preferences for future care.
I'd ask for information about financial matters.
I'd ask more about family history.
I wouldn't do anything differently.
I'd be sure to tell her how much I love her.
