Hi everyone,
How are you all? I have written before but not for a while! I've just been reading the messages, I haven't felt the need to post since most people are going through the same things as us, so no point asking similar questions!
Anyway, my Granny is the one with Alzheimers, the specialists reckon she is in an advanced state, however, she's still keeping us on our toes!! Although recently she's been very hard to get out of bed, I think she's depressed, she keeps saying there's no point getting up, I think she would stay in bed forever if she got away with it.....it's so sad to see.
Now, my Granda started showing signs of forgetfulness, etc a while ago and was referred for assessment - the appointment has only come through now. The specialist wants to see both my Granny and Granda next Monday morning! My granda was in hospital a few years ago and they just happened to ask him a few memory related questions and he totally lost it! So, our worry now is that he'll go the same way next Monday or even worse jepordise the relationship between my Mum (their carer) and my Granda.
So, we're just wondering what your advice would be.......go for the assessment and suffer the consequences or just let him carry on? He's 84 years old and very active, it's just occasionaly forgetfulness - no where near as bad as my granny.
Thanks again for all your help, talk to you's soon hopefully.
Love
Sony
