I'm in with the doctor .. won't be too long xxxx
Luckily my Mum never got to the point where she could not remember me, but I know that it is common. But if I asked her if my brother had visited, she would say 'No' even when I knew for a fact that he had. I had to make sure she had food and eat it with me present as she would always say she had had food even if she really had not eaten.
One sad aspect was that my Dad died a few years before my Mum, but she would always say 'he was just out shopping' and would be back soon.

Alzheimers is a cruel disease which affects the whole family, not just the sufferer. My daughter's father-in-law suffered and it was sad to see him go from a very talented engineer to not knowing where he was. Blessing was that he wasn't aware and kept his sense of humour - it was the family who suffered.
