Is it just me, or does anyone else caring for a person with AZ, find it incredible that at a memory clinic appointment MOH is always, without fail, asked to remember where Harry Barnes lives ?
The first occasion was at his first assessment in 2013 when he was first diagnosed, the latest yesterday, he was asked exactly the same question, and so with all his in between appointments. Bearing in mind that the first was 200 miles away from where we live now, in a different Health Authority, I decided to put the question on Talking Point.
I laughed when he was asked yesterday, because as soon as he was asked, he looked straight at me as if to say this is easy, ha ha. I mentioned to the doctor that maybe if he had asked him to remember a different name and address that the result would have been different. He can't remember his children's addresses, but he sure can remember where Harry Barnes lives !
