My grandmother, Gretchen, hadn\u2019t been herself lately. She was more forgetful, confused, and her health was getting worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mom and I knew something was wrong, but convincing Grandma to see a doctor wasn\u2019t easy. She was stubborn, always saying she was fine, but eventually, we got her to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After several tests, the doctor sat us down and gave us the news: dementia. I remember the way Mom\u2019s face fell as he explained that there wasn\u2019t much to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medication might slow things down a bit, but it wouldn\u2019t stop the disease from progressing. We had to accept it was going to get worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Couldn\u2019t Handle It When My Grandmother with Dementia Called Me Her Husband, but Then the Truth Hit Me \u2014 Story of the Day It was a&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24406"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45122,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24406\/revisions\/45122"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
