So after a 8 week wait for a memory clinic appointment, plus the 4 weeks of tests my grandads doctor ran, we finally have a diagnosis of vascular dementia.
Nan and grandad have decided to go to a weekly support group which I'm really happy about because I'm hoping that will give grandad someone to relate to and nan someone to talk to - she has me and my siblings & her two sons but I suppose no one knows what it's like for your husband of 55 years to be diagnosed with dementia unless it's happening to you yourself.
Grandad is happy he's got a name for what's happening with him - he just thought he was 'going stupid'
No doubt we have a long and hard journey ahead. But it's nice to finally know where we are heading.
