Dimentia is strange; they're alert one time and forgetful the next. There is very seldom any short term memory. They're sharp one minute, confused the next.

We just had a new furnace and air conditioner installed. Dad would ask repeatedly why the workmen were there, sometimes two minutes after asking it before.

But, his long term memory works like a librarian's.

People with this problem should not drive a car/truck/train, etc.. They will forget what they are doing while on the freeway. Not good.

“They will forget what they are doing while on the freeway.”

Not much different from somebody with a cell phone.

My mom is 90 and so far she’s still pretty sharp.

Mr. Falk pulled up to the book signing in a rather nice sports car.

I guess he'll have to sell that.

I sometimes forget what I am doing on the freeway, too. Seriously. It scared me for a while there and I'm too young for Alzheimer's. I'd forget exactly where I was on my way to.
