THESE DISEASES ARE VERY DIFFICULT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!True. It is the loved ones that suffer the most.
Father-in-law has dementia and lives alone, still drives. Wife's brothers are just going to let it go until it's an issue...I think it's time to have him move in with us, but I don't get to decide this one. It's frustrating, to say the least. He's always been a class act and I would like to help the guy. Sometimes he is perfectly fine; other days he will repeat same story over and over. He gets in car, forgets where he is headed. Shitty situation.

Not me! I've been demented all my life.
My uncle definitely knew something was wrong and he was damn good at hiding it. He would just act like he recognized you whether he actually did or not, and he was always very smart so he could BS his way through a lot of conversation. I was one of the first people to pick up on it. He even had my aunt fooled for awhile.Dementia patients know something's wrong. They don't grasp how bad, but they know things aren't as they should be with what they remember and think they know.
Bingo. He can fool the Dr sometimes. He's a hell of an actor, need be. He knows he is up against the wall, clinging to his independence.My uncle definitely knew something was wrong and he was damn good at hiding it.

If your parents were democrats, you should just be grateful that you survived past the first or second trimester.If your parents were Democrats your chance of getting dementia increases to 98%. That's a fact.
