Good evening all.
I wonder if anyone else is struggling with the diagnosis being forgotten and then mentioned in hospital for example and having to go through it all again? My dad is really uncomfortable with the word ‘dementia’, he doesn’t want people to know and wants it wiped off his record. We are able to talk him round and reassure him, remind him he is on medication to try and help. But it makes my mum super anxious, because he forgets and then she is own edge that someone will say something to trigger it all again!
