Man, that is one insidious disease!!! It started more than 15 years ago with little things and progressively got worse. Once she was diagnosed those "little" things made some sense. This is a woman who worked in The Pentagon during WWII. She was the assistant to a general in charge of traffic and war materiel shipments. When my wife and I first met and married she was unsure about me and eventually came about and actually treated me better than my own mother. (I came from an abusive home-alcoholic parents who had been abused by their families). We gave her two grandsons who she treated as if they were more important than life itself. (in contrast to my mother who barely acknowledged they were there). They grew up knowing Gramma Kitty (she had a cat) as they called her would always be there for them. She was at their beck and call and would take vacations from work to spend time with them. She was eventually forced into retirement. She worked as a secretary to the county school superintendent. He was frustrated by her inability to learn anything and her forgetfulness. It went down hill from there. I watched her go from a sweet hardworking loving woman to just a shell of a person with nothing left of her mind while the body slowly deteriorated. The past couple of years were hard on my wife and her sisters (their dad has been dead for over 25 years). If any of you have family with this disease treasure your time with them and spend as much of it as you can. You won't regret it. I apologize for unloading here, but since I spend more time on the Busse forum here than any others I thought I'd feel more comfortable talking to you all. Thanks for listening.
