My grandma at the very end.
But I don't know if it wasn't just because of the meds she got.
It took 10 minutes for her to recognize me.

its very hard. last time she visited was a couple of months ago, and it was so incredibly difficult seeing her like that. she woke up in the night and unlocked our door, and then got lost in the house. luckily she didnt go outside. she recognizes us, but she had trouble placing my mother when she straightened her hair
and she would ask about my new tattoo the whole evening because she forgot after a few minutes that i had gotten it 

i dont really know how to talk about it, i just repeat myself everytime she asks the same questions

when did you guys start noticing? is she aware of it herself? 

yeah i think that is so difficult, i noticed with my family member when she asked me the same question twice within a minute just as i was done answering and i was like oof uncomfortable i'll just say "we'll see" instead because i don't want to be dismissive two times it's difficult enough to say no to visit once i didn't want to do it twice

we noticed a couple of years ago actually, she started to repeat herself more frequently 
but her husband refused to acknowledge it. i think shes kind of aware of it? like she takes steps to be as safe as possible, like not driving, has her husband with her at all times (even on very short car rides with the family), but i dont know if she is aware of what it is? im not 100% sure tho

and yeah, answering the same questions is difficult. cause for you its been like 15 of the same questions, while she thinks shes only asked once. so if you're dismissive she might wonder why (but then ask again a while later) 
so i just answer the same way all the times, cause i dont know when it will "stick" if that makes sense

that's sad, has her husband acknowledged it now? 

i see. i guess it's mostly new things that are an issue? my family member talks a lot about past events, according to those who have interacted more with her than what i have done

i think so, but he still seems a bit... idk... like he doesnt wanna think about it 

yeah, for sure. she can remember alot about the past, like in really great detail 
so she remembers us because we were a part of that past, but as it gets worse so there might be a time where she doesn't 
and she mixes up the "kids" in the family i think, she was at my sisters konfirmasjon but thought it was mine (and im almost 24)

i guess it's very difficult to be the one who is the closest to it all the time : (

oof i see, it probably doesn't help that since you are still fairly young your appearance will gradually differ more and more from what you looked like ages ago, so she might not be able to recognise based on that as well, if she suddenly only remembers things from when you were like 6 years old
