re: To everyone in Pisco's dementia thread

My dad is a musician and has had hearing loss for many years. In the last 2-3 years (he's 84) his memory has begun to fade and he's clearly headed towards dementia I think. It scares the shite out of him. He's frustrated and it's tearing me up to see it. I swear, it would almost be better to have cancer or a heart attack. He's physically healthy, but the man I know and love is slowly turning into a stranger.
