Hi I’m new here!
I hoping you’ll be able to help me. My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s just 2 weeks ago it’s been a long battle getting this diagnosed he was in denial for years but finally we got a diagnosis.
My dad has moved in with us he has his own flat out the back of our house what’s handy I don’t want to invade his space etc and he wants his own space to.
Anyway today I got back from Shopping dad’s usually fine, but today when I got home I noticed he wasn’t himself after talking to him it’s clear he had a dream and woke up and he was living it,
He said he had been chasing the dog around for hours as he had escaped, he changed the story 3 times to something different. My dog was in my house so dad didn’t have the dog anyway.
He also said that someone came to the house wanting to use my car for filming an advert. (What was blizzare)
He also said that he had been on a train today. The nearest train is 7 miles away.
I was only away for 4 hours I’m so worried about my dad what can I do to help him? Has anyone else had to deal with this?
We’re going to the doctors first thing Monday morning.
