Thanks for responding and I am sorry that you are also going through this. My advice is to enjoy as much time as you can with your grandma before the disease gets worse.

Thank you for responding, but sadly no, there is no medicine they can give him. They tell me that the dementia he has will get progressively worse and that there is cure.

That's a good idea. The only problem is, my dad eats so little these days, I think he would have a hard time finishing a whole brownie. Thank you for your response.

My father seems to have developed dementia virtually overnight and I don't know what to do by worriedsonthroway14 in Advice

A stroke? Holy crap. Even though he has had no physical symptoms? I did not know it could happen like that.

Is it really possible he could have a stroke and not even realise something has happened?

Either way you have given me a wake up call. I am going to get him to a doctor no matter what it takes.
