I am finding it difficult to know whether it is better to tell people, friends, family or workmen who may visit our home that my OH has Alzheimer's.
I feel that if I tell them they may find it difficult to converse normally with him and he very quickly feels left out f he is not actively involved in conversation.
Yesterday we had visitors that we had not seen for a couple of years, everything was ok dispite some repetition until I went to make tea, I returned to find my OH telling a bizarre tale that I couldn't collaborate, I managed a fairly quick change of subject but wonder if I had warned them in advance I could have avoided some confusion and embarrassment
