Two elderly gentlemen are sitting on the front porch one afternoon, when one comments on how his arthritis has been a problem of late. "What medication do you use?", he asks the other. At this, the fellow thinks for a bit, then replies, "Oh, my memory is just terrible. Let's see. What's the name of that flower that grows on a long, thorny stem, and has lots of red petals and smells so nice?" His companion ventures. "A rose!" That's it!", he says as he turns toward the front door to ask, "HEY ROSE! What's the name of that arthritis medicine I've been using?!"

To put it simply - Forgetting where you put the keys is normal, forgetting what the keys are for is not. If she has dementia, it will just get worse and worse over time. Make sure to pay special attention to the way she is talking, I know with my family members who had dementia it was first noticeable in the way they chose words, like they couldn't remember the right word or would use weird words in place of. Also, I noticed they would take longer to understand things; whether it was random situations or just making conversation, it was like it just took longer than normal for them to register and react... if that makes sense. Other differences - They might have a hard time handling money, driving, making decisions, learning new things - where they haven't before. Just really keep an eye on her and if you notice a decline, please have her see a doctor! Dementia is just horrible.
