Well my concern is that while I talked to her everyday and drove her everywhere when I was living at home, now I'm not. I'm dreading the whole, welcome home from SD from everyone and she forgets who I am. Its like dealing with my cousin's kid who is going to be 3 now. Every time I see him he runs away thinking I'm a stranger and having his mother say who I am 4,000 times. I'm afraid of that happening with my grandmother. She doesn't have any major health problems, but over the past 5 years she just zones out, like someone falling asleep when you're talking to them, except she's not falling asleep.
It goes in waves though, some days are really bad like she didn't know what a microwave was 2 weeks ago. Or on the phone where she went Canada?
Then some days she remembers German phrases from her school days.
But since the mid 90s it was always mixing of names, but that was it nothing else. I only started noticing when my cousin was born in '94, and his name has the same 's' ending pronunciation. His and my name were the first ones to get confused, then slowly everybody was being called somebody else in the family. Nobody thought any of it though.
