[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also just thinking about that scene in the cabin-- If it takes place just one year in the future, her dementia is progressing pretty darn fast, isn't it?[/quote] That's fairly common, unfortunately. [/quote] I don't think it is common to go from first diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (which is NOT dementia) to bed-ridden dementia in a year's time! According to various medical sites that I've looked at including Mayo Clinic and Alzheimer's Association (b/c my FIL is in progress from MCI to dementia), it takes years (like 7-10) to go from nothing to the end. [/quote] That's not necessarily true. Some drugs can slow the progression, but it is difficult to predict. For instance, a major respiratory illness or a fall can speed up progression. My dad progressed in 2 years. [/quote] Your dad went from first diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment to bed-ridden dementia in 2 yrs? [/quote]
