Alzheimer’s is not funny, but, sometimes !19 Nov 2019 12:08
As I said earlier I needed to go and look after my mum, she unfortunately at 99 (she’s now 100) was diagnosed with early (yes I know it’s unbelievable at that age, but nonetheless that’s what the doctor said ! ) early onset Alzheimer’s dementia.
Anyway she doesn’t get up til about 10.30 / 11.00 so when I got to her house she had just arisen and I made her some breakfast, I then asked her where she had put the tray that she always uses and which she had next to her when I left her last night, to which she replied, I don’t know someone must have taken it.
I found her another tray and spent the next half hour searching for the lost one in each and every room, without success, but then on a whim I thought I would check inside a bag that had old magazines in and low and behold there it was pushed into the middle of the magazines, if any of you know anyone who has Alzheimer’s you will know that such strange things are for them normal.
So at this point I said to her, mum why on earth did you put it in there, and she said I didn’t put it in there the cleaner did.
I said to her, mum you don’t have a cleaner only me
And, quick as a flash she said:-
Well why did you put it in there then !
Out of the mouths of babes and Alzheimer’s suffers eh !
