“Do you know where you are, Mrs. Taylor?”
“A pottery class. I’m an artist!”

“Grover Cleveland. And it’s his second presidency.”
“What is todays date?”

Danny, I thought it was just dementia until she mentioned the blow to the head. It’s no doubt a combination of both. Good story and well written. 🙂 — Susan

Thanks Susan. It is a combination of both. I started out with the dementia theme but then it turned into that blow to the head. Thanks for commenting.

Makes you wonder if she was confused about the assault or if it was how she got into this state of confusion.
