Thank you so much for your mention of the "creative side" of dementia. My husband has been diagnosed with Alz-like dementia. We've just started on this journey, but there are so many things I see that seem unreal, but it's very hard to explain to anyone. He does like to tell stories, he always has. And he does embellish them. But like you, I'm hearing stories of things that have happened during the time we've been married, but the events haven't really happened. Or at the least, major parts of the stories haven't happened. I've so thought "Why is he making things up", but maybe it's the dementia. Thanks!
