Definitely not good!Hi everyone!
Yesterday was CHAOTIC. Grandparents were driving down from Spokane WA to look into moving in with us due to rising memory issues. They were opposed to moving in with us at first, but after an “event” yesterday, they both realized and admitted they need help and need to move in with us.
What is this “event?” Well, they took the wrong road at the VERY START of the drive, and we didn’t learn that they did until 40 minutes after they left, and it took them 13 HOURS to get here, as opposed to 7.5 hours, even though I gave them WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS of how to get here.
Grandma also forgot her MEDS, of all things, and we had to scramble to get info to the nearest pharmacy to get them for her. We got them in the end.
Grandpa also forgot what hotel he was staying at and how to get there, AFTER arriving.
I didn’t think their memory issues were THIS bad. Makes me feel a little sad for them.
They will NOT be driving themselves back to Spokane WA on Monday. I will drive them back myself for their safety and fly back Tuesday.
Going to get some sourdough ready for tomorrow.

Have they been evaluated? Dementia sometimes has a cause that can be treated.
