Yep, feels like early stage dementia to me. Quite a sad story.

Wonder if something like Dementia might turn out to be something going wrong with this?

You must not have dementia in your family then -- Take that as a blessing

Would this work for someone with dementia as well?

You ever hung out with someone in deep dementia ?

The specter of dementia frequently makes me want to not live all that long.
