Hello all
I don't feel right writing this but as you are always so helpful to me I thought it worth a try!
Mum has diagnosed Alzheimer's but dad's scores as I've mentioned before don't meet the memory loss criteria as yet.
Dad thinks he's got a really bad memory however other than genuinely forgetting his words in conversation he's capable of holding good conversations and topics.
However, if late he has started saying he doesn't remember people from his past (when questioned) for example an old customer who used to regularly see him. When they met recently he didn't recall them at all but instead spoke about his ailing health and the history of his previous business.
This morning he said out of the blue he couldn't recall what day it is or what he was doing today.
So he passes memory Tests with flying colours and manages himself relatively well but thinks he doesn't and has random moments of memory loss.
But what I don't know is if it is really memory loss or because he's now being around mum (they're divorced) he's thinking he's got the same issues🤔
Or perhaps this is the beginning of a long haul of memory loss which is just showing itself!
Has anyone ever wondered if it's real or something else?
😊
