His was vascular dementia and it was his short-medium term memories that were affected. Mostly his long term memories were okay. So he remembered people but had no idea what he'd done just minutes before. He never knew what day it was / if he'd had lunch / where he was etc... <br /><br />He has a few exacerbating factors but whenever I struggle to think of a word I worry I'm heading in the same direction. (He was lucky it didn't happen to him until he was in his 60s). Debbishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305239848096384084noreply@blogger.com
