why you should write more journal entries

Good Sister has started a shared doc for the whole United Sister Front to write down experiences with our mother's dementia. Naturally, I copied, pasted, and edited several entries from this here journal. GS edited some more because it was a lot of verbiage.

She also edited it because she wanted to focus on Mom's hallucinations. She and maybe our mutual Evil Sister have a new theory: Lewy body dementia. It's to some degree manageable, but not, of course, curable. People diagnosed with it tend to live for four more years, on average. My mother the replicant?

Does your mom have Parkinson's? They almost always get Lewy Body Dementia. I had a friend with that. It didn't seem much different from a symptom point of view, but I know they use different meds for it.
