Extreme memory impairment, I’m so afraid it’s vascular dementia
My 58 year old dad had a stroke late march this year as a result of sepsis. This made him go completely blind and he also has extreme memory impairment. He can’t remember where he lives (he’s currently in a rehab facility), how old he is, which year it is, the fact that I’ve moved out of their house, and he’s started calling me by my mother’s name a lot.
I made the mistake of googling, and discovered that there’s a type of dementia you can get after a stroke. His memory has gotten better, but some things just aren’t improving. I’m absolutely devastated by my search results.
I guess what I’m wondering is if anyone has had memory loss this bad and for it to not have been vascular dementia?
