I appreciate your article because it describes what it was like around my house when I was diagnosed with vasular dementia. My home, which was once always tidy, was cluttered...dirty...and I didn't do anything about it. Why, it was like the area around me didn't exist...I don't know how to describe it any better. I didn't remember we had a vacuum... Our solution was to hire a lady to come in every other week and work on the common areas of the house. While she works, I work in the bedroom or other area where she does not clean. One of the problems I have is that I don't complete tasks. I just start them and then get interested in something else before I am finished... Thanks for the article. I''m sure it will be helpful to many.
