Hi everyone,
My Granny (aged 81) seems to be getting worse and worse with her memory, and I'm really concerned about her... but I don't know what to do, because she really doesn't want to go to the doctor's about it, and I'm scared she's going to forget vital things (she's type 2 diabetic, for one, and is on a few medications). For instance...
- She forgot my parents' anniversary (they've been married 32 years and she's never forgotten it before)
- She keeps asking my Mum if she's coming to coffee, thinking it's Saturday when it's actually Thursday or Friday
- She asked Dad to take her to a certain street so she could see the doctor, but the doctor's surgery hasn't been there for over 25 years
- She sent a joint Christmas card to my parents' friends who have been divorced for over 10 years, and hasn't made that mistake in the past
I'm worried about her; she's always been there for me, and I really don't want her to get confused and forget to eat, or something... but I don't want her to get annoyed with me nagging her to go to the doctor about it. What should I do?
