fluid was. But he was super OK with it.

But with his dementia, I knew that he'd forget immediately. He had no recollection about it the next day. Which I expected.

I've talked to Mac about this, and she knows what to expect with her grandfather's dementia, so she's cool with it.

But it's still a bit a little bit of a twinge for me that he won't be able to remember.
