Dear @SandySparkles you have always been a beam of light, kindness and positivity on these boards. The unknown is always so frightening but praying your strength, joy, faith and doctors will get you through this difficult time. God Bless you.

Life is so difficult sometimes, and so scary. I truly hope and pray that you will be okay.

Understanding OPs diagnosis, her acknowledgment and reply to each poster is a self help way of trying to hold onto her cognitive function skills as long as possible.
My mother was about 7 years into her vascular dementia before her symptoms were quite noticeable at the levels OP has accurately described in this post. This is when the Dr. put a name on it in moms medical record. I bought children's workbooks, multiple types of puzzles, a notebook that I urged her to leave on the kitchen table so she could scribble whatever ran thru her mind, draw, make notes, write numbers in sequence, write down anything to maintain brain to hand coordination/function, period. Did she do it? NO, and immediately her mental decline was more noticeable.
@SandySparkles, I urge you to keep reading, writing, and staying in touch with others as long as you can. It is extremely important for you to keep pushing. Write post it notes with instructions, and stick them throughout your house. Mom forgot how to turn a light switch on and off, forgot how to use the washer, and after multiple scares with the electric stove, my brother turned it off at the breaker.
I sincerely wish you the best with this health issue!

Sorry to hear of your struggles. Take a break and take care of yourself and if you do post, as others have said, just save yourself some hardship and heart the responses, it's just too much work to reply to every single post like you do but bless your heart for doing it. We'll all understand!
Now sending you pink sparkly hugs!

I appreciate your response, @RedTop. My experience with my mother, MIL and another family member has been quite different than yours.
