I expect it shortly though, I'd prefer oldtimers coz that way you seem to recall nothing, but dementia - omg just NO - watching someone very clever with it, realising they can't remember things and KNOWING it's their brain, is terrible. I wouldn't wish that on anyone tbh.

Not something to joke about really.
Seems like an epidemic to me.
I know a pro musician that's got it and it appeared suddenly.
From a guy who could grip the attention of any audience to a guy who no longer remembers any of it.
Han't a clue what musical instruments are any longer doesn't know his wife and kids.
He's now not knowing who he himself is or where he is.
His wife won't be able to look after him much longer.
A very frightening disease.

It's getting so much funding thrown at it, you're right Jack - it is an epidemic. The reason it's worse than decades ago, I believe - is that it's what is going into our food. (Now we really might start to wonder at the chemicals ur digesting....)
He isn't wanting to get out anywhere.
How is she getting on with him wanting to get out and go to places they knew in their youth? U have to lock doors and make sure no keys are left. You can buy a tracker and plank it in a pocket, but they usually find them. And yes, she knows it's her illness too and can speak well enough at times, but those are getting few and far between too. She also will need to go into care - and that's another whole new ballgame/nightmare.
