This made me think today

I think if you are a worrier you have to go with it and find ways of coping. It's no good people saying don't worry if that's in your make up. I spend a short time daily going through my concerns, deal with the ones I can then put the others aside. I agree with other posters, why does everything seem so much worse in the early hours of the morning.

Kitty leather,thanks for that,feel better now?x

KittyLester! predictive text Bah !

Kitty Leather, eh? Well, well, well...

Actually, dud I mean a positive memory test or a negative one? Anyway, you know what I meant I think.

Banging on again, but please contact the Alzheimer's Society if your DH does get a dementia diagnosis of any sort.

Kitty,have been told that if the POA is not completed before he has memory test, then it can’t be implemented at whatever stage his illness is at!Worrying again?

I help deliver Carer's courses for the Alzheimer's Society and the advice we give to Carers is that a diagnosis does not necessarily mean the person lacks capacity.

Obviously, it depends on the individual but you could check your specific circumstances with the office of the public guardian, age UK or the Alzheimer's Society.

Can I ask who told you that? Pm me if you'd rather.

And, don't worry!

The friend who’s handling the POA,he has been practising for 5 years,I feel I want to cancel his appointment to give extra time for the paperwork to be returned,but am also keen for him to be seen, as we have been waiting since before Xmas, where he willingly went to the Doctor,who gave him a brief memory test,and from his answers was obviously concerned.Thankyou for your concern, I am grateful.

Many years ago I went into a local Insurance Brokers and on the wall was a beautiful picture of a Panda eating bamboo, looking very relaxed and the caption said 'The things I worry about, never happen!'

I often think on this poster when I start to worry about anything, and put the concern to the back of my mind, telling myself that I will worry about it when I know I need to!

It works for me !!

I've pmed you Elen. Don't panic and cancel the appointment. The advice is not correct.
