[quote=Anonymous]Watch for the spouse covering up concerning changes in behavior. My FIL became alarmed when MIL got lost driving locally and he had to come rescue her but didn’t share this story until months later and after she finally got a diagnosis of cognitive decline/likely Alzheimer’s . Apparently her getting lost was the impetus for getting her to the doctor. Looking back though - she became even more flighty - more giggly but with a marked personality change - she was always verbose but suddenly became a great listener. Something else I recalled in retrospect (two years ago) - she no longer communicated via text, abandoned Facebook and I realized I hadn’t seen anything she’d written in a long time (no gift tags, cards, notes, checks - all suddenly FIL handwriting). Came across a shopping list she’d attempted and it was sad-misspellings and crossed out words. [/quote]
