This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

Decline
On Christmas Eve Dwane was not feeling well, said he felt his brain was being pulled back into his skull, went down for a nap for some time. Since then, he is not doing as well in his functioning. Trouble with using the phone again, left a burner turned on at the stove, lots of trouble with the tv remote, more agitated and disagreeable. After weeks and weeks of improved functioning, for which I am so grateful, we are obviously in a decline again.
