Bathtub Realities

I remember like it was yesterday. Aunt Katherine was sitting on the side of the tub in the middle of the night trying to remember why she was in the bathroom. The water was running, but she could not remember why. I guided her back to the bedroom hoping this was just an accident. The next few months got worse. The stove was left on after use. I would find her sitting in the closet thinking it was her room. She forgot my name. Just sitting in the rocking chair looking like she was lost and uncertain.  It became very clear that her mental health was declining. After several visits with the physicians, she was diagnosed with dementia. Dementia is such a scary and difficult word. It is life altering. I am so thankful that Aunt Katherine had a Mental Health Power of Attorney. She had executed the document several years prior to her diagnosis in case she would be unable to make decisions for herself. She was prepared. It protected hers and our family.
