Thanks for posting this. You reminded me I have three juggling balls collecting dust behind my monitor. I forgot how fun it is! As others have said I'm surprised the muscle memory is still there even after a few years without trying.

I wonder if I got Alzheimer's so bad that I couldn't remember my kids names, would I still be able to juggle? And would it be therapeutic in any way?

In a couple of people I have known, some physical capabilities remained long after their memory was gone. There was also this woman who wrote about her husband Alzheimer's. He could still play tennis and golf while not being able to do much more basic tasks like picking an outfit for the day. I don't know if it was therapeutic but she said he gave him a lot of joy.
