A couple of days ago my dad came over to see me, he's been getting a bit forgetfull and sometimes missplaces things, or forgets selling something and thinks it's been stolen. And increasingly can't remember names of people or places. He also seems to have difficulty concentrating or explaining things to people in detail.
Some of the time he's fine, just like me same old dad, other times he struggles to do simple sums, or starts a sentence and forgets what he was talking about, or uses the wrong words for things.
This probably makes it sound worse than it is as he's still able to take care of himself, and can still manage to drive over here to see me (even though I tell him I'll visit him instead)
Worse still he lives nearly 60 miles away on his own and I am his only family.
I just don't know what to do or who to turn to.
