Lex had his Memory Clinic visit yesterday. The visit was brought forward on the request of his GP, due to me seeing him on my own to discuss his deterioration. I had, as usual, kept a 'diary' of the various happenings, which the doctor reads before she sees me whist Lex has the blood pressure and weight checks etc etc. She was most sympathetic and rather flabbergasted in the change in him. She has suggested he now goes to daycare twice a week, rather than the once. She also added that she can see him having to go into full time care sooner rather than later. This blew me away - I don't know if I am ready for this to happen - he is only 66!! As much as he drives me crazy at times, and I enjoy my 'time off' when he is at daycare, having him away from me permanently is a whole new other thing The Memory Clinic doctor has offered me help over this time if I want it.
