What are the worst things people say to you about dementia? My two horrors are:-
1. Oh everyone does that.
Yes I know they do, but not every times a day and frequently every day,
2. Nobody would ever dream you have dementia. Are you sure you have it?
Yes I am
bl,,,dy sure, I nearly set the house on fire yesterday leaving my still on, hot curling tongs covered by a piece of paper. I can't do sums anymore, It can take me ten minutes just to log onto the computer, sometimes I have to give up on trousers because I can't work out how they go on etc etc etc,
Feeling a bit Bolshie with well meaning aquaintances
