I was taught the pope was infallible, and that means he never made a mistake. :?

Well, I don't 'qualify' there.
I have always had a memory problem.

I gather you are also in the age group who constantly monitors for symptoms of dementia?

Engaging in forum discussions is one way to see if there is cause for concern. :mrgreen:

Many if not most people that have dementia do not know they have dementia because of the dementia.

People who read my PPR posts are convinced I have dementia anyway.

All joking aside physical disabilities is bad enough but when you lose your memory you lose who you are.

Well, I have always been an "asshat", so I guess my memory is just fine. :mrgreen:

Tallulah Willis opens up about dad Bruce’s ‘painful days’ amid dementia battle

Quote:

allulah Willis shared an update on father Bruce Willis' health and how the family faces the "painful days" due to his frontotemporal dementia.

Tallulah Willis, 30, spoke with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on TODAY on Sept. 18 about the "Die Hard" star's life with the neurodegenerative disease that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

"He’s doing stable, which in this situation is good, and is hard," she said. "There’s painful days, but there’s so much love."

Tallulah Willis previously called her dad's condition “a really aggressive cognitive disease, a form of dementia that’s very rare,” on a November 2023 episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

In a May 2023 article for Vogue, Tallulah Willis expanded on her feelings of watching her father's struggles while lamenting what their relationship might have been as she got older.

"I’ve always recognized elements of his personality in me, and I just know that we’d be such good friends if only there were more time," she wrote for Vogue.

Her father's life with FTD has also taught the youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore to cherish the moments she does still have with her dad.

"It’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted, and I really do think that we’d be best friends," she said on TODAY. "I think he’s very proud of me. You have to be in the moment. You have to be present."
