No, I don't know what you would ask because I don't know what you did not understand.
People in Heaven will be "who they were at the moment they departed out of this world" but their physical body will not go to Heaven so they won't carry any infirmities of the physical body that they had when they were alive in their physical body.
The soul will continue to exist and take on a spiritual body and they will start in a whole new path.
Alzheimer's is a brain disease but since they won't have a brain anymore they will not take that disease with them.
That is what YOU would expect but it is not what people would expect if they understood what I explained.
Just because we cannot understand what the afterlife is like (since it is so different from this life) does not mean the afterlife does not exist. A baby in the womb cannot understand what this life will be like, yet this life exists.
Just because God did not reveal the nature of the afterlife that does not mean it doesn't exist.
God chose not to reveal what it will be like for a good reason, because those who are going to Heaven would kill themselves since they would not want to live one more minute on earth.
“The nature of the soul after death can never be described, nor is it meet and permissible to reveal its whole character to the eyes of men...... The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother.” Gleanings, pp. 156-157
“As to those that have tasted of the fruit of man’s earthly existence, which is the recognition of the one true God, exalted be His glory, their life hereafter is such as We are unable to describe. The knowledge thereof is with God, alone, the Lord of all worlds.” Gleanings, pp. 345-346
So let me get this straight...
People will be in Heaven as they were when they passed, unless they aren't, and we won't have free choice, but we will be able to make choices, except for when we can't make choices.
