[quote=Anonymous]We are in a similar situation with my mom who is in memory care. Last time I visited she knew me, but had forgotten all the grandchildren and I mentioned something about work and she had forgotten what I do for a living. This made me kind of sad because she had always been so proud of my accomplishments and paid attention to all my little ups and downs at work, wanted to know about my conference paper, and things like that. Also, sometimes she thinks I am her niece and has forgotten that she ever had children. It's never the same. Sometimes when I want to torture myself I go online and look at the various stages of Alzheimer's and try to figure out where she is, and then there is some kind of predictor about how long each stage lasts. We also worry about what will happen when she outlives the nursing home insurance that she has, which is beginning to seem like a possibility. [/quote]
