That happens, my Grandma in law (maternal side) is referred to as
psycho grandma. She has been headed down the Alzheimer's road for six
or seven years. The early years were rough on my MiL because as the
oldest she got hit with taking care and getting Power of attorney and
getting declared guardian. Grandma thought that everyone was out to
get her, because she still was able to misremember what happened
recently. Hated her kids because she was sure they stole her car, even
though she had sold it while still sort of lucid.
Now she is in a facility where she is safe, back to around thinking she
is 18 or so, and has a new boyfriend. They get jiggy, so you have to
knock really loud and wait. Real cool part is they know they have a
boy/girl friend, but have no idea who it is. He is blind, she is able
to sometimes recall that my MiL is her daughter, and integrates that
though at 18 she was still years away from kids.
Before that, she was living in her mind in Yakima, where she grew up,
when it was a white town. Really fully developed reality and recall,
and able to flow from there and integrate that these "future" people
were also able to talk to her.
She is healthy, so I do not expect to have to plant her anytime soon.

Great. My father knows who our family is at this time but he can't
remember a conversation 15 minutes ago. Growing old sucks.

I can tell you first hand that is sucks. My grandmother had it and
probably the last several years of her life I suspect she didnt even
know who I was.

Thanks, actually I forgot to mention since it seems trivial, that my
83
year old father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 6 months ago also.
