My father aged 70 is having trouble with his memory, in particular he is struggling to remember the date and time. My parents have just returned from a weekend away and he was worried from 1.00pm that they would miss the coach at 5.00pm. He is never able to give the correct date, and has on occasions lost his chain of conversation during a converstion. He recently had surgery on a knee which made him have very strange behaviour which the doctors put down to the operation and rekated drugs. He also suffered a heart attack about three yeras ago which appears to have made the situation worse. His stubborn nature and general short temper would make it difficult to get him to the doctor. Since retiring he has become somewhat of a stay at home man and his sleeping patterns have chenged significantly. Can anyone help, should we be concerned?
Thank you for any advice.
