Living with Dementia: Confusion Confession

If I had a broken leg or a neck brace, people could easily acknowledge that I have an impairment. I have a seemingly invisible impairment...dementia. Vascular dementia.

Even when these areas rear their ugly heads, people just... Read moreChevron

Living With Dementia: Changes in Dementia Status

Dementia is not pleasant for the one suffering from it. My vascular dementia seems to be changing a bit, probably due to my blood sugars which tend to remain higher than normal.
