Eighteen months ago I moved back to Auckland NZ and into a retirement village. Around 2 months in I suffered a couple of black outs and my new GP ordered a brain scan. It showed I have frontotemporal dementia. I have to say for some time prior I felt something wasn't quite right however as I was caring for my extremely sick husband I ignored this. I can only stay at the village while I'm Independent. I feel blessed having found this message board as I don't feel so alone.
