OP, I think she needs a medical assessment.
My mil was in her mid-60's , still running her custom seamstress business, when she started making fabric cutting and measuring miscalculations...she would repeat a story to us multiple times...she got 'turned around' driving in the town she lived in for decades...she started having trouble swimming in their pool they had for 30 years...like I said she was not even really elderly. It was like there were these telltale signs, looking back. It was dementia, it progressed rather quickly and she was deceased in a few years. Please at least get your mom checked out. |
It's not confirmation bias to be concerned by symptoms that she is displaying. Dementia can and does onset in the 60's. At the very least, a medical assessment can confirm or rule it out. |
