I’ve recently had the luxury of a few hours each week of professional companionship for my wife who suffers with Alzheimer’s
Today after settling the carer in with my wife while she watches telly I popped out to do some work
An hour later and a very distressed carer calls saying that my wife had gone out and locked the door behind her trapping the carer in the house
It took me 15 mins to get back - around the same time as my wife who had been to the train station . She said she wanted to see if my sister was on a train. Later the story changed to looking for her kindergarten friend who is somewhat of an obsession
No harm done except for a panicked carer !
