@Evening Commenter Dementia is awful and sorry you’re all going through this! I’m in healthcare and dementia causes you to eventually forget how to do everything, starting with the most recent life events first. They therefor don’t know their limitations anymore. Sorry to be so clinical, my Mom took a stroke that killed 95% of her right hemisphere of her brain, I know it all too well and it’s how I deal. She’s the reason I do what I do, she was my first patient. Try to stay positive but please, watch out for caregiver burnout, take your time to regroup too.
