There’s no denying it, dementia—even in its early stages—is going to stop you from doing certain things. This is how we felt:

“Some of the simple things I used to do in the past, I just can’t do .” - Gerrit

“I want to do something and I can’t . I want something I can do .” - Evelyn

“Sometimes it’s good to forget about what limits you and find something else to do.” - Les

“My golf game is gone, mostly because of physical limitations .” - Gerrit

“I used to run 3 or 4 times a week and now I can’t . I miss it . The legs just aren’t what they used to be .” - Al

“Being told you should not drive is the first thing everyone thinks is terrible .” - Les 2
