I have read several times about how people forget to take their drugs but I haven't read about anyone like my Dad.
Mother gives him his tablets and watches him take them with water. He often hides them in his mouth and them hides them in plants or down the back of the sofa once she thinks its mission accomplished. Sometimes he manages to spit the tablets into the water, take a swig - mother always inspects his mouth to see of they are gone - but its not in his mouth, he's managed to spit it into the water beforehand and then swear he's taken it!!
My father also has a strange fixation with food being in the house. He cannot understand why another loaf of bread should be bought when there is a half of the last loaf left. If he thinks you are going out to buy milk he will even sneakily fill a half used bottle of milk with water and try to convince you we do not need to buy more milk there is already a pint there.
Has anybody else come across anything like this?
