My dad has not been diagnosed with anything but we are worried sick.
I have not read all the comments on this page but I will.
My dad is 75 and my poor wee mum is 73. She does not keep well herself.
My dad was always so clever, quickwitted and ahead of everyone. he has opinions on everything.
We have noticed he keeps telling us the same things over and over. He has in a matter of months put petrol into a desiel car twice and is so distressed. My dad has been a driver most of his life. Forgets where he is going. What he is doing an where he is going. This is all new to us, my mum has been hiding stuff from us. She is now beside herself and needs help too because she is not well but she wont leave my dad.
What I need to know is how do we get him to be tested properly?
how do we convince him he needs to do this? I know he knows he forgets things. I cannot bear to think of my daddy going down this road. Not when he was/is so vocal on so many things.
But there is a big problem and it needs to be addressed without humiliating him
HELP please
