confused IN decline
. . . . she doesn’t remember what she ordered for dinner, she doesn’t remember having eaten dinner, she doesn’t remember exactly where I live now, but she is always happy to see me. She knows things are different. We repeat ourselves, she repeats herself. She can’t hold a real conversation, but thats okay, because she still remembers who we are and how much she loves us.

@Anna Batts
I don't recall if she has officially been tested for alzheimer's or not, if thats what it is, it has been very slow. I think It's just dementia. I'm sorry about your grandparents, that must be extra tough if they both have it. oy . . . I can't imagine. -
