Turns out, my grandmother on my dad's side has Dementia.
What is it?
It is a . . . disorder. .. yeah, that sounds right. It's a disorder in the mind which causes the person in question to lose almost all memory. Almost.
The person retains basic motor memory, like picking things up and walking.
But they no longer know who they are, where they are, or what they are doing there.
And it comes and goes.
So, alongside kidney and heart failure, she has that.
