[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old were these patients when they started becoming nasty (or nastier)? Was it the first symptom? Sometimes I wonder if my husband is developing dementia, or is just becoming nastier. [/quote] My mom was around 79-82 for the worst of it. She had a few truly awful years. She’s 83 now and more or less stable (as stable as a dementia patient can be) in memory care but she still has her moments. Today was especially fun- she got furious at me for helping the other residents with the courtyard door so she balled her fists and threw a pillow, then burst into tears. All because I was holding the door from the courtyard open so the others that were enjoying the weather could go back inside (it’s a surprisingly heavy door). [/quote]
