[quote=Anonymous]OP, sorry you are going through this now. Dealt with my grandfather, father and now my MIL - all getting diagnosed w dementia. Collectively, first sign was personality change. For example, my grandfather was a very gentle, quiet and patient man. I was shocked to hear him raise his voice to my sibling about something unremarkable and benign - completely out of character for him. Huge red flag. These outbursts became more common. My father was loquacious - a retired attorney and law professor who quite literally never stopped talking until he seemingly overnight started giving my mom one word answers like yes and fine and okay. My MIL was always able to keep up with her grandchildren - now teenagers - and would attend their activities, remember details about their friends and interests and now has lost sense of orientation and time. Can’t recall day of week - or when she returned from a trip. Struggles with their names. [/quote]
