The person I care for doesn't fit the 'norm' that family/friends think should be happening. ITt makes it hard to get support. He can be quite entertaining at times. a good 'host'
He seems ok, he is acting normal, do you think he is making it all up? makes me wonder.
It's just forgetting stuff yeah?
Ahh Alzheimer's, we all forget things dont worry about it ...
"I dont see it at all, I had a perfectly good conversation with him 10 days ago!"
Well he remembered who I was... and talked about what he has been doing.
Well if he doesn't do 'insert task...' just ask him I am sure he would do it. Maybe you need to be asking him to do it. Instead of expecting or presuming he cant/wont
All things said to me after friends have visited us. The last comment made after I talked about how he is losing empathy, telling her how I had come home soaked through, in the past he would have grabbed a towel for me and made a cup of tea. Now he doesn't even acknowledge I am back, and he wants the cup of tea making for him! lol my friend didn't get what I meant at all, and thinks I should order a cup of tea as I walk in. The cup of tea wasn't the issue....
Just makes me feel like i am making it all up. But also closed down the support I thought I had from these people. Most people have no idea. Its a word they know... it's a memory thing yeah? It's hard to educate people ...........but we have to keep trying.
