Official

Well it is official, George has been diagnosed with dementia from mixed vascular and Alzheimer's. I know that I have thought that is what is going on but it is official now. The Alzheimer's Society person rang and they are coming round next week.

Although he has been a 'word smith' all his life he is losing words very quickly now - this has been very sudden and certainly not something I would have expected. He looks to me to supply the right word for him. I always wonder if by doing things for him (or for mum) and I enabling them to 'opt out' and would it be better to make them do more for themselves??
