He won't make the election. By my estimation, having watched multiple family members with dementia, he has about 4-6 myhs left before he won't remember who he is...if he even retains the ability to speak by then. It'll become way too evident, to the point that [they] won't be able to fake it anymore. The drugs don't work anymore because his brain, if viewed in an MRI or CT will look like swiss cheese. There isn't enough viable brain matter left for him to cognitively function.
I had to help take care of both my parents before they died of dementia. Fully agree Joe has it bad. My dad was given some type of Alzheimer medication about a year before he passed. The med helped for a few months as I saw improvement but after about 3 months he was back where he was before he resumed downhill to his death. Pretty sure they have been giving Joe a super pack of meds that at this point seem to not be working so well.
