I think there is no reason to be embarrassed of your illness. some of us are going to get senile in the end and then where will we be? My mother's friend doesn't even know her own name and she's in her 70's. She wears diapers as she can't go to the bathroom alone either, it's like she's a baby again. She had several children during her lifetime, was and still is a great person. I also used to work in nursing home and some of the people were in the same situation as her. That is why I say not to be embarrassed about your illness, who knows, maybe you may not even know your own name tomarrow!
