Yep. Common phenomenon in Alzheimer's, and I wonder if that's what makes them so stubbornly determined to live independently. It reminds me of that classic short story & movie "Flowers for Algernon".

I hope you love it. You'd hate to do it for your whole life hoping to avoid dementia and then find out you're suffering from dementia.
