No question, just heavy sadness. My aunt has dropped into another stage, more loss.

Question

She has no awareness of self as she appears in nothing but her pj top, remembers nothing just said, eats 2 bites, gives rest to dog. Less strength, fell in bathroom on Thanksgiving and went to ER. Can't do child's puzzle or make sense out of tv show. I am just missing who she used to be.

Yes, Countrymouse, it has turned colder.&#160; Maybe she's noticed a draft.&#160; haha

Countrymouse · Answer

Yes, it could have been a TIA or it could even have been an actual micro stroke that has been repaired - you do get some recovery, even in very elderly brains.

Would it unkind to wonder if the weather has suddenly turned much colder where you are?!

My aunt is improving so that we can have a conversation (short), and I wonder if she had a TIA several weeks ago.&#160; It did not show on CT scan, but they seldom do.&#160; Is it normal to&#160; recover somewhat with Vascular Dementia?&#160; She hasn't walked around naked for days.

I am sorry. It's hard to watch someone you love lose the life they and loved ones know. Please consider Ahmijoy's post about calling hospice.
