@sivad my sig other is at that stage now. Short term memory and time are her biggest issues now. She has been taking memantine and donepezil for about a year. Recently she had an amyloid petscan to see if she's eligible for Leqemba injections. Not sure if she will go that route because of potential side effects. It's not a cure. Supposedly slows it down. I am going to order the book mentioned in this string.

@longboat1 Thanks for the comment. My wife has still not accepted that there is anything wrong with her memory. She never knows what day it is and is constantly asking the date and the day and what month we are in. I know it can only get worse. At present she still enjoys her Line Dancing classes. I have taken out LPAs for us both with my daughter as attorney just in case anything happens to me. I wish you well and hope you find the strength to deal with this, Stay well and stay safe. Sivad
