A Post

The Simon and Garfunkel lyrics,
"Slip, Sliding Away" is how
I describe my wife's journey
from Early Onset Dementia,
into the perils of Alzheimer's.
A person of intelligence, who
cannot/does not know the name
of any item. As a result,
she does not respond to any
issue or direction. A small child
who doesn't remember from
day to day or minute to minute.
Her inability to cope with daily
routines is difficult as she
does not remember where she
is, where rooms are or the
fixtures which are essential
for her daily needs.
She no longer acknowledges
she has this diagnosis. She did
understand in the beginning,'
January 2017 diagnosis, of Dementia.
