Both my partner and I have commented recently that my Dad's memory seems to have improved quite a bit recently - he's keeping better track of the days, remembering and talking about events that happened earlier today, yesterday, will happen tomorrow all in the correct context, none of which he could do three or four weeks ago...
...Yet somehow he can't remember that he has eaten half a loaf of bread, half a jar of jam, a packet of biscuits, a pear, four apples, seven nutrigrain bars and his lunch so far today. He's also convinced that his CDs are cassettes (not heard this one before today).
Roll on the day we hear about the memory clinic appointment, I just want to know whether we are dealing with alcohol dementia or alzheimer's, so that we at least know whether to believe that the memory improvement is actually an improvement or just an anomaly.
