[quote=Anonymous]My dad always used self-deprecating humor and goofiness to cover up when he was feeling insecure. I think he masked his early dementia with this. The doctors all thought he was fine because he was very charismatic during his appointments. It was frustrating because I knew he was off, but no one believed me until it got to the point he couldn't mask anymore. Not much would have changed, TBH, but I think we could have taken the keys away sooner. At first we thought he was losing his hearing. Always asking "What?" "Huh?" "Repeat that?" Turns out he was losing comprehension. He could hear just fine, but he couldn't understand what was being said. [/quote]
