Been a while, again
Dad and I have had our moments over the past few months.
Today started an interesting thing. He seemed confused as to why the "buzzer/speaker" (controlled entry) moved on the wall. He was not sure of the address, he had to clarify the apt number. He said that today was the first time he'd been in the bathroom... feeling concerned... Sent him to his "Daddy Daycare", then called and gave them a heads up that Dad seemed a little confused, but I could not tell if it was because he chose not to shower or if something is wrong.
December -
- I got sick and was going to self medicate, Dad suggest that Mom bring something home. (Think he was confusing my aunt (Mom's sister) who had just been up for Thanksgiving.) Then he suggested my sister help. She's in Illinois.
- Wanted to buy a Christmas present for HIS mom. She's been dead for 20+ years.
- Got lost at a friends house, trying to find the bathroom;
- Got confused as to whose urn is in the apt. (My mom/his wife.)
- Got confused where we were sleeping/staying (personal home / vs hotel with sister)
Sent much of this to his PCP, and Dad is on the short list to watch for dementia based upon his history...
Dad talked with Brenda last night and said everything seemed fine, I concurred when I chatted with her and now he's making a liar out of us both.
