Progress?

I went back to the dementia care home this week. I found it a lot easier than the previous time. We worked with some of the same residents, but I don’t think they remembered. There were new people too, one quite aggressive, but I think I’m kind of used to it because of visiting my Grandfather. My Grandfather isn’t aggressive, but you do get used to all kinds of behaviour because of the people staying at the same home.

I’ve started to read David Shenk’s ‘The Forgetting’, I could quote it all it’s so good. I have read it before, but I didn’t realise until I got about a quarter of the way through. My partner likes to joke that I have mild dementia; I suppose it is not unrealistic to suggest that I could unconsciously be developing the symptoms that I’m reading about. But I have always been easily distracted.
