I've posted many times on here - I always find it supportive and comforting. So thank you for that x
Dad, like lots of other PWD has lucid and confused days. Recently though when mum has been reminicing with him about 'the old days' which he's been able to relate (mostly) to, he now has big chunks which he can't remember. His family home for instance, was sold many years ago when his brother passed away. But now he has it in his head that houses were built on it. Mum tries to explain but obviously she can't get through. Mum was then talking about her own family home (mum and dad lived there for a short time - my brother was born in the house) - but he has no recollection of the house.
I call up every day to see them and see to them. He forgets i've been and asks mum how am I doing. Mum will remind him that I called up earlier - his recent reply to this is 'oh that's nice of her, where does she live?' When mum explains 10 mins away he seems suprised.
He's not had any interest in doing anything for getting on for a year now and I'm wondering whether perhaps he's entering another stage of this disease :-(
