More dementia

 This isn't new but still  hard to confront.  After a movie this afternoon she tried to say something but could not get it out.  Like an ordinary person tries to think of a word. In these circumstances I try to anticipate what she is thinking of and try to help her out.  In this case she was trying to ask did the people make their escape. I figured out what she was trying to say and helped her out with the right word.  That seemed to satisfy her.  This is not a new thing but has been ongoing. I think one of the first things that goes for people with dementia.

Take a look at Bills war. His widow created a story of his service with the 39th FA in WW2. Find it at Four years in the 3rd Inf in WW2
