Hi again,
Me again with yet more questions! Mainly - is a rapid deterioration in memory to be expected in early dementia? I ask because my aunt seems worse than ever since coming home from hospital a few weeks ago. My mum came down from Scotland to help her the first week she was home and found it was a very difficult time. Anyway, she sorted out lots of practical stuff - pills, food, carers and what they need to be doing etc. But last week my aunt refused to go to daycare, saying she couldn't recall anything about it. Also, she seems now unable to tell the time - more than just confusing times - looking at her watch and not actually being able to tell (or even guess) remotely close.
Am I overreacting or is this to be expected? I know every experience is different.
Thanks
