Hi all yet again.
I seem to have no end of time to spend on TP these days now that Dad is in the care home for the time being. Talk about being at a loose end, I feel totally lost!
When Dad was in hospital recently and was diagnosed with reasonably advanced AD, one of the things the consultant told me was that he'd lose his ability to talk. I'm now in panic mode and spend all the time I visit Dad watching and listening for any of the things I've been told will affect him. I've noticed on my last few visits that he's started to slur his speech a little and of course have started to worry that this could be the start of his system shut down I've been warned about. Maybe he's simply tired, but I've not picked this up before when he's been exhausted.
What have other people experienced? I've a million and one questions to ask on a million and one things but will take this a step at a time.
