[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL developed some hallmark symptoms of dementia over two years ago; notably, got terribly lost while driving to a close by, familiar location. FIL was concerned to alarmed but recalled MIL saying (of her own mother who had a long slide in Alzheimer’s) that she’d rather “k herself” than to get an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. FIL ignored all increasingly concerning behavioral changes. Apparently there’s a brief window of time when these meds are effective and FIL recently told that to start now is futile. Her diagnosis is now no longer discussed. Maybe together they made a decision to not treat? Everything’s a secret with them.[/quote] My dad somehow missed a major intersection twenty times and drove around in a wider circle until he needed gas and then I just walked over to the gas station. It was scary for me.[/quote] After reading the above several times, it still doesn't make sense to me. Please explain more clearly.[/quote]
