I remember the sense of disbelief the first time Mil asked me where she was - we have lived in this house for 19 years, and she had stayed here on many, many occasions prior to her moving in. She was convinced, the first time, that we had sprinted her away to Ireland, overnight, and we were staying in a hotel because 'I don't know this place at all'
It happens nearly every morning now, though mostly, she is able to orient herself fairly quickly - and its horrible to say that as long as she isn't unduly upset, or I can reassure her fairly easily, then its just yet another one of those horrible issues that I now accept
Feel for you, though - the first time is an emotional kick in the guts xxxx
