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. :'(

Hopefully she accepts your explanation of why. . .until she forgets again. If they begin to argue, the experts say -- and I have found this to be true -- don't argue with them. Basically you are back to dealing with a toddler. Distract, ignore and move on to a different topic, whatever, but arguing only tends to agitate them and make them more firmly resolved that they are right.
