His Perspective

A friend has suggested I write more about the perspective of the person with dementia. That is very hard to do, as I can pretty much just go by my observations. But last night someone called to talk with Dwane who has just heard about his dementia, and she had questions. I heard Dwane telling her two things I did not know. He has almost constant double vision which is problematic when he reads (I had noticed that he reads with one eye squinted shut) and when he steps down off a curb. He also said to her that his brain sometimes "feels funny in there". Interesting glimpses into what he is experiencing.
