hi folks, i just needa bit of advice here.
I've a new g/f who hasn't met my grand parents (read as parents though).
ma is ok but has trouble walking. she is however very lively conversation wise. my pa has withdrawn to not saying anything. a stage i haven't properly witnessed yet but possibly on my next visit.
hwover, it's easter and i'd like to take my g/f up to see them but i'm worried i'm going to get knocked for six by his deteriotion. maybe he won't know who i am this time and that's not happened yet.
do you think it would be best to travel up on my own (they live an hour away). but if he's ok, maybe the next time he won't. do you see what i'm saying, it seems there's never a right time. she's not accustomed to alzheimers either so that plays on my mind if she'll feel awkward. i know, i'll discuss with her i think, trouble is, don't know what to say.
any advice on this?
apparantly i've been told the next step is family are planning pa to go into a home. although i think it's best too it's tough to deal with.
thanx all
