My relatives and I had Korean BBQ today to celebrate the birthday of my grandmother (my mum's mum). I ate tons of things, mostly meat, feeling very full. 
After having dinner, we went back home. Our car was parked between our new and old houses. When we were about to walk back, I saw my grandma (dad's mum) go on the way to our old house. Then, I asked her why she went there. She stopped and replied me that we had to go back home. She even pointed at the old house without noticing her mistake, saying that was our home. We reminded her of the right way to go; then, she finally realised she had walked to the opposite way. It was the one of the most serious mistakes which she has made; we have been living in our new house for 18 years already. This incident showed that the problem is worsening actually. I'm quite worried about her deteriorating Alzheimer, specially when it is not easy to cure/alleviate this disease. It's like I can do nothing to her about this. Now, I just hope that her situation will not get worse so quickly, and wish she could handle everything by herself as before. It's never easy to overcome this plight; what I can do now is to stay positive, to be patient to her and to spend more time accompanying her.
Every cloude has a silver lining :)
飄紅 is the song related to Alzheimer, but I have no mood to post it.
