Life is going to get very tough!
Much will depend on the particular form of your dementia and the speed of its progression. My commiserations.
My only advice is to ensure those close to you know and do some reading on the subject, as their response to your process failures - which you will largely be unaware of - can make a huge difference to how you and those around you feel. It has taken some effort to get others in my family to grasp that our mothers' 'madness' is the dementia not her, so there is no point in getting worked up when she gets things wrong, or tells you the same thing multiple times because she has forgotten she has already told you. And then we have days of total clarity.
