oh, fuck, mike

I'm sorry

I'm so sorry, b/c that's really rough. Keeping you both in my thoughts and sending you love.

hugs I'm so sorry to hear it, Mike.

I watched both her parents and her aunt go through this. doesn't make it any easier

I’m sorry, that’s awful to have to watch happen to someone

it's not bad bad but listening to her take the cognitive test was like, "come on, the nurse just said it, you can do this" or "you've said anteater 3 times, just name more animals!"

Fuck

I can't remember if your mom is older than mine?

72

Mmph. So. Catching it here is going to make it easier to make adjustments. The most reassuring thing I can say is that medical science knows a lot more about how to help cognitive decline and keep it from getting worse than they did at her parents' age.
