Someone I Used to Know by Paige Toon | Goodreads

Hi there - thank you for getting in touch. It sounds like you're going through a very difficult time. She has a form in front of her where she needs to write her recommendations, and I sit watching, helpless as she begins to fill in one particular section: 'Incapable of meeting the demands of her NHS employment'. My fate has been decided. Money matters I finished the book and the mystery of how come she couldn't carry on a simple conversation but could write a book was revealed. She could write, the dementia didn't affect her ability with words although there were times when she couldn't recognise the letters on the keyboard. And, of course, there was a ghost writer.She can no longer drive, she gets a pink bicycle. She sets alarms on her iPads with things like, take your medicine, eat breakfast, etc. Whatever she can do to make it work for her. She had to retire from her job at The National Health organization, and from experience realizing how little understood and how little help is available to those who like her life a life full of challenges, she travels, with a great deal of preparation, to give talks to students, organizations etc. She was asked to preview the movie, Still Alice, and then invited to attend the premier.
