And, no, I am not talking about Sleepy Joe for this.
My wife is in the medical profession and we often attend seminars together. We recently went to one on how to care for patients with dementia.
One of the things they went over was how to identify when someone has dementia, so they gave us a "cue card" that contained a list of things to look for.
+ Poor impulse control - does private things in public and is easily irritated. + Poor immediate recall of info - forgets for you said, repeatedly asks or shares without recalling having done so, believes you are lying.
+ Loss of short term memory - doesn't remember things, doesn't follow through, unable to give accurate info.
+ Word finding problems - is vague, uses the wrong words, gets off-target.
+ Confabulation - makes up ingo, unaware of inconsistencies, argues.
And the list goes on.
Does this remind you of any other group of people?
I think we have a new name for these people: Dementors
... A good marriage outlasts the first box of dental floss.
