Hi everyone
My father in law came home from a week of respite today - it was such a lovely week!! However, he is so confused, asks me every 2 minutes what he is supposed to be doing. Appears to have forgotten his bedroom and that all the things there are his. He goes to his room and comes straight back own again to ask where his room is! He had been constant all night and now is finally asleep (although will be up and going through stuff through the night). I have sat here in tears. I struggled before the respite and I feel so stressed out by all this - am well out of my depth and then adding guilty to the feelings, as I know he can't help it!
My question is... will it just take a few days to settle back in, or this permanent?
Thank you xxx
