Hi just been browsing this forum and felt the need to join as I feel we will become good friends over the next few months/ years.
Just started on the long journey of trying to get a diagnoises for my 78 year old father. He as been refered to the memory clinic but it is a 12 week wait.
Somedays he is like my dad of old but those days seem few and far between . He lives with my mother and 27 year old nephew (who as some learning difficulties) but we just dont know how to deal with his confusion , do we correct him all the time or humour him .
I hope you will be patient with me because i sure do need your support.
any advice on what and how to cope would be gratefully received
kind regards
Margaret
