I assume you are referring to Alzheimers... surely with that it's the memories that stay and the present that fades, but if they did go, you probably wouldn't be aware of the fact?

Yes Susie.......I was referring to Alzheimers.......there are different types(of dementia) and in some there isn't much of anything left(or certainly, that is how it seems)...unless perhaps the sufferer has the memories, but cannot articulate them.

It is my fervent hope that whatever happens to me in my life........this does not.
I would hate to be in such a situation.
