Your story brings back so many memories of my own mom. She had developed multi-infarct dementia and would enter those zen-like states you mentioned. My mom also got the burger-craze also. One day after forgetting that my sister had taken her to lunch earlier she calls me over to take her for a burger, she noticed she wasn't hungry, yet she couldn't understand why. THe next day she calls. Apparently "someone" was sneaking into her apartment and leaving partially eaten hamburgers in the refridgerator. It's a sad comedy, this dementia stuff. -- Bill Grote Wow!

My mom also got the burger-craze also. One day after forgetting that my sister had taken her to lunch earlier she calls me over to take her for a burger, she noticed she wasn’t hungry, yet she couldn’t understand why.

THe next day she calls. Apparently “someone” was sneaking into her apartment and leaving partially eaten hamburgers in the refridgerator.

It’s a sad comedy, this dementia stuff.
