She was relatively young when diagnosed. She lived at home for a while with her son and neighbors checking on her. She still wrote notes to me in Christmas cards. Then she moved into assisted living. Now she is in the memory care unit. She can no longer feed herself. Dementia frightens me, too. So often I cannot think of the word I want. For now I tell myself it's because my vocabulary is so large that of course I can't think of every single word I want or need. We'll see where this goes. I often wonder how long my sister-in-law will have to go on as she does.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-63877902335782211672020-04-06T11:40:44.189+10:002020-04-06T11:40:44.189+10:00Jan - I'm so sorry you've had such experie...Jan - I'm so sorry you've had such experiences with this disease.
