[quote=Anonymous]My mother was always difficult. Now, a year after the official diagnosis, she is way more difficult. It's not the memory loss that is the major problem. It's her insistence of having things her way every time. She was always that way before, but now it includes insistence on irrational, wasteful, time consuming rituals. The first sign was confusion about directions to familiar places. Next came out of control hoarding. Problems with the checkbook. Inability to plan meals. Poor decision making. By the time I convinced her doctor to do a complete evaluation, it was obvious to everyone but her that there was a serious problem. Even after the diagnosis my parents refused to do any kind of planning. It took a health crisis to get them to move to a supported living arrangement. [/quote]
