Thank you! I will look for the book you suggested. My brother is living with my mom and he has his own issues...I guess we all do. I have seen what dementia can do. My partner's (now deceased), father just passed away about a month ago and I watched as he declined. It is brutal. He remembered so much from his childhood and would talk about it often. My mom is at the short term memory loss stage, but it is accelerating. It is difficult to even make her go to the doctor. She keeps cancelling appointments. She had an appendicitis last October and it was to be a really easy removal. It turned into a nightmare, as she had so much scar tissue from her c-sections with my brother and me that they had to actually make an incision in her stomach. It was touch and go for about a week. She has absolutely no memory of that. She does remember things from when I was a child and adolescent and even some things more recent. I really dread what is coming for her, me and my brother. I will definitely look into the book. Thank you for the reply.
