Hi all, dad always been good at repeating himself but over last few weeks his short term memory seems to be getting really bad. You will tell him something and he asks about it a few minutes later. Also he seems to be struggling with the things he could do before like answering his mobile or calling me. There is only my oldest son who lives with him and me who care for him. He also has very poor balance with lots of falls so this as well is quite a blow. Am about to make a drs appointment to see where we go from here. He doesnt seem to know anything is up and just laughs it off if I tell him he cant go out somewhere or do something unless someone is with him.
We have talked about Power of Attorney before but think time is running out so need to do something. Its confusing but he isnt real dad, actually step grand dad but he took me on at 9 days old so I have no rights as not blood relative. He has a son who he doesnt speak to and has already stated that he doesnt want him told about anything.
Just nice to be able to find others who understand.
