This clip was part of a half hour presentation put together by Montgomery County, Maryland, at a Friendship Heights Neighbors Network event in our greater DC neighborhood on Earlene's birthday in 2018. Earlene starts talking near the 1 minute mark. This is what early stage dementia looks like. At the time, I'd been caring for Earlene for about 3 years while running a small tech consulting business. A few months later quit working to be her full time caregiver. Eventually that became a 20-24 hour/day responsibility that transformed my life as she changed; dementia is progressive and terminal.

Here's the 23 minute piece from which I took this clip.
