I have recently been very upset to learn that a friend I have known for many years as an intellegent and lovely woman has been diagnosed with dementia. Along with others of her friends I have observed for some time that she has become forgetful and confused and have feared the worst. I also had a sister, formerly a hospital sister,who suffered from the same disability. She did a lot of silly things and I daresay some people would find them amusing but Iwould never dream of talking about them. This could happen to any of us. Elizabeth
