hi I last visited over a year ago looking for advice on how to get my dad to a GP. He is only 62 and has had problems with memory and words for over 5 years but flatly refuses to go to the doctors so we can get some form of diagnosis.
His behaviour can be aggressive & aggitated, he gets fixated on things like his vitamins and not throwing anything out. last week I stayed with him and my mum with my 2 children (5&3) but had to leave early becasue it was too difficult. At one point I was trying to throw out a bath mat by son had accidentally had a poo on, dad fished it out of the bin and hid it upstairs. He later asked what poo is.
My mum has been to the doctors but to no avail, they got him in under the guise of a 60 year check but as he didn't admit to any problems we have got no further. The years are sliding away and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks lucy
