It's so depressing...

My wife is giving the doctor's office a call to reschedule my appointment and make one for herself. BUT she asks "Why do I need an appointment?" I tell her "Because of your memory loss." Five minutes later she asks, "Why do I need and appointment." "Because of your memory loss." We've been through that routine 4 times so far today alone. :'(

I am really sorry to hear... this is probably heart breaking to deal with, and to deal with on the long run :( I had to deal with this only for a week or so with my mother before she died and it was really emotionally tiring. She'd want to get up, I'd explain to her why she can't, then she'd sit.. only exactly a minute later sometimes less she'd ask for the same thing and I'd repeat the same thing over and over and over again :( But she wasn't suffering exactly from memory loss ..

I hope your wife gets better and wish you both well..
