Finally, my husband realised what a strain I was under and, although he doesn't actually believe there's anything much wrong, he agreed to visit the GP. There, he underwent the '6 point memory test'. He could count down from 20 as fast as anybody and the months backwards were no challenge. He knew the year, the time - but not the month - and the address he got almost right. He's now got to have a urine and a blood test.
The doctor took on board what I said about him not believing we still live in the house where we've been for decades and that he believes we're living in a place which is something like a hotel and which I've driven us to.
His suspicion is that hubby may not have dementia, but chronic delusion. Has anybody come across that before? What comes next?
