Dementia or Normative Aging?
My Mother is 63, I love her dearly. Over the last 3 years or so, I’ve noticed some changes in her cognition and memory.
She has a career, lives alone, and is completely self sufficient. Obviously, I know minor decline is normal, and I have been trying to brush it off as standard aging but I had a concerning conversation with her today.
I just landed at the airport, and I was waiting for my ride to pick me up. She says she went on “street view” to check which friend was coming to get me. She says she assumed it was my friend Jada because she “saw a grey car on street view”.
My mom is a well educated woman, she has a masters, and is good with technology. Why would she think that street view would show a live view of my location? This makes no sense and concerns me.
No one else in my family has brought up any concerns to me, and she hasn’t herself acknowledged any changes to me.
Her mother had dementia but that didn’t begin until she was in her 80s.
Any advice/tips/reflections would be so appreciated!
