My mother comes from a long line of dr's. Her mother had & sister had it. She is 86 and perfectly lucid most of thetime. Sometimes says she gets confused. Lives alone a few miles from me I check often - she with med background refuses to see dr. Physically healthy - how can you convince someone they need evaluated? She ate dessert after Thanksgiving dinner and when an hour later someone suggested they were ready for pie she said Oh do we have dessert and ate yet again. That is minor.
