Golly, I think it will be a good thing for his sister to see what’s really happening, as long as he isn’t likely to do anything that will put him in harm’s way.
There's precious little to laugh about with dementia but watching his sister must be incredibly funny. And satisfying. No need to say, 'I told you so,' - she's going to find out in no uncertain terms!I think she may have had a little taste of what it's like trying to organise something with him.
Sister: we will pick you up
OH: I can walk.
S: I'll make the spare room up
OH:. I'll sleep on the sofa.
S: I'll leave you some money for takeaway.
OH: I won't ring for a takeaway.
S. I use app to order.
OH. No point I won't answer the door anyway.
S.: Ok what do you like to eat, I'll buy something.
OH: I'm ok.
S: well I'll just pick a few snacks up then.
OH: if you do I'll eat it all.
S: that's the point.
OH: but I don't want to eat it all.
S: just help yourself to anything you want.
OH: I'm not going through your cupboards.
S: sighs, what do you drink.
OH: water.
S: ok, I'll get you some bottled water then.
OH: what's wrong with the taps?
S: arrrrrgggghhh.
Is it wrong that I'm finding it funny watching someone else deal with him?
Trying so hard not to laugh. Lol .
I do have concerns about him being there alone, he's not as fully aware of danger as he used to be and he's also having alot of dizzy spells,
Someone did suggest trying maybe an ear infection could be causing it and see if he'd go GPS that way, well I tried it and all I got from him was it's that 'pots' thing .......I had to Google what that was,. He's obviously aware something is wrong and trying to self diagnose.
Concerns aren't so much that something could happen,it's more how long it would be before someone knew, I'll have to check in with him regularly.
But from conversations I've heard him have with his sister he plans on setting up on the sofa and not moving lol.
