I'll be spinning thoughts and wheels for you and others, marni.

My partner's mother steadily fell into dementia after she was admitted into a nursing home. She increasingly switched to only German. So only her son (my partner) could understand her. One could see that, if she saw me, she spoke German which she never did when she was in her alert years.

Hope it's a comfy, nice nursing home. (It was for partner's mother.)
