Hello
I am new to this forum. I would like some help and advice please. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's just over a year ago.. He has just accused me of lying to him about what day of the week it is. I really don't know how to respond - why would I lie? He seems to answer everything I say with - 'I don't know', but I've just told him it's Saturday, that's all. This seems to be the end of any conversation I could possibly have with him - if he doesn't believe what I say, how can we have a conversation? How can I tell him any bits of news, which is what I have done so far, if he says I could be lying? Help please from someone with greater experience and wisdom than I seem to have. Thank you.
