Dottore,

I feel for you. My mother went through Alzheimer's. It started slow but increased it's tempo after only a short while. What was most painful to me was occasionally seeing the stark fear in her eyes when she could realize something was wrong but could not figure out what it was.

She went from a feisty, highly motivated super woman to a totally dead to the world, unable to do anything (speak, stand, sit, respond in any way, etc) bit of still living flesh that she remains today. Why and how she still lives is a mystery.
The last 10 years have been hard on us all, especially my Father.

Remember that this is a very scary time for her, but she needs you more than ever. You need to be the one to make the best choices for her. She cannot.

Good luck and let me know if I can help.
