Hi everyone, I don't really know how much it matters to know whether my husband is having having hallucination or he isn't.
I have got used to his confabulations , which are a smart blend of events that actually took place and unrelated elements taken from past experiences or memories.
Yesterday OH was restless and insisted on going to the chemist's of the small village where we have been living for some years.
I drove him there ( it is few kilometres away) and let him get into the shop to buy the ointment he seemed to urgently need.
We had been back home for a couple of hours when OH announced he was going to the chemist's . I didn't let him go on his own , even though he is still able to, because it is a long walk to go there and it was getting dark and cold.
This time , after he got out of the chemist's, I asked OH to show me what he had bought. He answered he had only asked for some information he needed.
He wanted to know about " some odd movements " . He said he had seen "children he didn't like " , who had " running noses" and seemed to be seriously ill..
I didn't comment on his words, I only nodded .
The question I'd like to ask you is : in your experience, is that a confabulation or something else?
