Mother will be 88 on Saturday, October 3rd. She is in very good health, very mobile and very alert. Her problem is short term memory loss dementia. Very, very short term memory loss.
Some days she's very normal and some days she wakes up in a new world every five minutes, or less.
She can no longer realize the dangers of everyday life. What I mean by that is, she still thinks she can cross a busy highway to walk to church or to visit a neighbor on the other side of one of the most dangerous highways in the state.
She may wander out into the yard at 2 a.m. and forget where she is, etc. There are way too many scenarios to list.
