I have a friend who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

Of late he has been spiralling downwards.
I rang just now to invite him out for coffee tomorrow.
He replied - "Do you know my address, do you know what number my place is"?
I replied "Yes, I know where you live"
He replied "How? I have never seen you here before"
I visit regularly; this is a marked deterioration of his condition. 🙁

Sorry about your friend. I know it’s hard. My mother passed with Alzheimer’s and I have an older sister and younger brother both diagnosed with it. Took my brother and his wife out to eat last night. He’ll ask where the restroom is and can’t find his way back to the table on his own, each time he goes. He also cannot keep up with a conversation at all. It’s such a sad disease.
