Yeah, my mom had her stroke, it'll be five years ago in December. And it really just kind of impacted some vision. It wasn't a paralysis or anything like that. But then a couple years later, she used to pay all the bills and she didn't trust herself to pay the bills. Then a year or two after that, she used to do all the cooking and she didn't want to do the cooking anymore. She was afraid she was going to mess it up. It's been, I think, five years is what they say is for vascular dementia. It's about the time. But we had her tested in July. And a geriatric doctor said that you have an early stage, a mid-stage, and a late stage. And he said she was in the middle stage. But she's got some symptoms from late stage. And after last Thursday, I don't know if it's pushed it a little bit further or not. But I don't know how much longer she'll be around. I think once she stops recognizing anybody, then I think that's when, you know, maybe a home. If she's basically a vegetable, then I think Dad might say, all right, let's put her in a home.
