One day my wife went to unload the dishwasher and could not remember where to put things away. It was very sudden and scary.

My Mom’s seemingly sudden loss of cognitive function scared me too!

My wife cannot remember where things go, other than the plates, but puts things wherever she can find space, and then I have to look for things (I do all the food preparation). She also likes to rearrange the utensil drawers and food pantry. I try to empty the dishwasher and put things away before she gets to it.
