What is dementia?
In: Other
It’s like the bookkeeper and secretary checked out or quit with no warning. And over time things become increasingly disorganized and chaotic. The information is all there, but nobody is filing it away or organizing it such that you can find what you need when you need it.
You know that feeling when you can’t quite remember the name of that one movie or actor? And then you have that fleeting moment where you remember it and forget it again immediately? That information is there, but the connection or pathway to retrieve the information isn’t.
It starts at the latest novel information and works it’s way down. At first you just can’t remember your daughters name. Then you can’t remember who she is. You know that you know who she is, but you can’t quite put your finger on it (just like trying to remember the name of that movie).
Not a scientific explanation I know, but take those moments you can’t remember that one thing and try to imagine that’s how your entire existence is (at least that’s where it leads at the end).
