I and my siblings are caring for my mother [91] who has dementia and I had just written a piece on my live journal about the fear engendered by dementia when up close to it. The stress itself can cause 'brainos' and, leaving her to return to a world which seems difficult to immediately adjust to, due to the mental disorientation [caused by the intensity of periods with someone who is trying hard to appear 'normal' but whose confabulations are becoming bizarre] I almost fear that I've 'caught' some of her symptoms. The episodes tou mention as peridementia show that I am far from alone in wondering how long before I start being seriously compromised by a decline in my mental processes.
