It suddenly struck me yesterday, in a Supermarket, what wonderful support you get from shop assistants once they know that your loved on has dementia. I managed to mouth to a member of the underwear team that my wife had dementia then service with a smile was on hand for half an hour. Margaret ferried underwear to the changing room for my O H to try on and I am optimistic this morning that things will be more comfortable.
My OH is still in denial about her condition and so it is difficult for me to let others know the score. So I end up trying to steal a private word or mouth something appropriate. I just wonder how others go on who are in a similar situation? Perhaps a hand signal or a bit of sign language would do the trick. What I have always found it that once people know support is generally outstanding
