Dementia Continued

Dementia is one of those disease’s that sneaks up on you and all of a sudden one day you forget who people are. I will tell you a story of one of our patients. A couple in their seventies were at home and the wife went to play cards like she always does on Tuesdays from 2 pm until 6 pm. Her husband stays at home and makes dinner. This one Tuesday the wife came home and her husband was sitting in the living room and the lights were off and he asked his wife who she was and he had to go home to his parents. His wife brought out their wedding book but her husband still would not believe her . She called her son and her son spoke to his dad and he finnally realized where he was . After this she could no longer leave him alone. He became worse every day. Maybe you can relate.
