Some three years on from diagnosis and eight years from beginning with Alzheimers,according to memory clinic, I find myself having more incidents of not recognising, say a program on TV, thinking I have not seen it,but by perhaps the end realise that I have, and possibly more than once!
I am also not able to remember the end of of a program I have watched recently. One instance is Downton Abbey, had completely forgotten the last 15/20 minutes of it! Only realised when I argued about something towards the end,of it with my daughter and watched the repeat.
Since being on EBIXA things had improved immensely, but recently I seem to be slipping back, I have had incidents of not recognising a familiar dog,my daughters greyhound even though she has had him almost five years, and I see him everyday.
Is this the beginning of the end?
I am one of those with Alzheimers who is very aware of what is happening to me, I have done everything possible to make things easier for family when I no longer have that ability. My daughter has access to my bank account via an arrangement,with the bank,my will is done and my funeral arranged and paid for so I don't have to worry about those things and nor do they.
Long ago I decided I would not look back at what I can't do, but forward too what I can!
I still fret that have I done enough?? I suppose that is something we all do!
