The assted living took her to the hospital and I met them there. Her heart checked out fine, but they noticed dementia. At that point, we'd had no diagnosis, but they decided to keep her there and do tests. On May 4, the day you wrote this we got the diagnosis of a clogged artery in the back of her neck that is inoperable and vascular dementia. Until then we thought senile, but not a real disease. Our world has changed this past year with a rehab from this hospitalization, another fall that resulted in replacing a hip, another rehab and the nursing home. She's been more unhappy the last 6 months of her life than ever, and reading these stories on blogs helps me feel like I have friends out there going through the same thing. Mom turns 90 on April 30, 2013.
