Continues to deteriorate despite compassionate care. Personally, I remain impressed by the memory care staff and all they do every single day. If they don't know my name, they simply say "you're Pat's" and that is touching since dementia makes you feel adrift at sea. There are so many scares and tears, but there are humorous moments too. Today Johnny kept talking about painting, but admitted giving it up. One of the dining room attendants directly asked him what he used to paint and didn't get to hear after a delay. No clue if this is real or imagined, but Johnny's eventual lone sentence was "I painted people naked."
