Hi. I’ve noticed for about 18 months now that DH 72 might have dementia. He has become very forgetful, and finds following instructions difficult too.
Yesterday I had a hairdresser appointment at 3.45 so had planned a quick tea of sausage and chips. I’m normally around an hour do asked him to put the oven on around 4.30 so I could put the sausages in when i got in. I was back at 4.30 and could smell the sausage as soon as I came in, he’d actually cooked them already, no good as the oven chips needed cooking and the veg.
So of course I asked him what was going on, he said I’d told him to put the oven on at 3.30. We always have tea between 5 and 5.30. What’s worrying really is he hadn’t thought why we’d be having tea so early and where were the chips ! Sorry it’s so complicated.
Also we’re getting lost while in the car, even with the sat nav on, well trodden paths are becoming difficult. Does it ring any bells with anyone else ? I’m finding it really frustrating and we’re having lots of falling outs. He says there’s nothing wrong, and refuses to visit the GP.
