After dinner tonight as Kay got ready for bed she tried to ask and finally managed to get it out The way she put it today was, "Why am I so dumb" Meaning she can not form thoughts in a way to express them. I just told her her memory is bad. Not that she has dementia. She probably not understand it and if she did she would not retain it for long. But this continues to bother her. Even in her condition it effects her. An occasional call from her kids would go a long way to get her mind off her condition. But surprisingly I guess they think she will be able to remember them for quite some time. But will she? Kay never let her parents feel that we neglected them. Who knows. For myself I want to be with her ever minute. That gives her pleasure so I want to give her what pleasure I can. I wish I knew what to do to make these episodes less bothersome to her.
Take a look at Bills war. Virginia Sheldon created a story of his service with the 39th FA in WW2. Find it at Four years in the 3rd Inf in WW2
