My grandad doesn't have Alzheimer's but he definitely has problems with his short term memory.

Has arthritis in his back and a few years ago he got so bad that he was admitted to hospital for a six week stay. Had to have surgery to relieve the pain and has been on a very stringent course of potent painkillers ever since. Now he forgets something he asked you five minutes ago but can still recall events from 70 years ago.

In the last 6 months my Dad (it's his mother, not my mam's) has tried to get her diagnosed and tried to get her car or licence taken off her. They say she's fine. She has had all sorts of tests and when they came back with the all clear it led a lot of people to believe she is simply a nasty person. He's said today's the final straw but I've heard nowt for 45 mins now.

Health professionals are often reluctant to diagnose Dementia or Alzheimer's, as practically it makes little difference to their prognosis and treatment. I'd suggest you get in touch with Adult Social Services and request an assessment. Especially if she's becoming increasingly forgetful or behaving erratically and it's impacting on her ability to carry out her daily routines. They should be able to refer to a specialist psychogeriatric consultant who can diagnose her, or at least pressure her GP into doing it. They'll also be able to signpost you to local support/advice etc.

Rio is acting like a proper twat on twitter.
He's a proper idiot. Should keep his most shut. I hope Adnan drops his 5 cap.

My nan can go on about stories from her youth but will forget mundane things like eating dinner or changing her clothes. It's peculiar how the mind works.

Thanks, I'll have a word with me dad.

I think the first priority is getting her driving licence revoked for not just the safety of everyone on the roads but herself as well. She's not even in a physical state to drive nevermind mental, but we were advised not to take the keys off her so... idk.

If you joke about those kind of things, You are truly the lowest of the low.
I rather have banters within acceptable level.

You can contact the DVLA directly if you have concerns about someone's driving. They're usually quite quick to respond.

Which is stupid because then they're not getting the support or treatment they may need.

Yeah it's really frustrating. We have specialist Dementia Care Workers who are absolutely fantastic and help families cope with this kind of thing, but because the Dr's won't formally diagnose, they aren't eligible for the service.

I'm not really close with her at all. In fact I have tried to keep my distance from her ever since I really had a choice but that's another story for another day. I could never live with myself if I didn't even try to do anything now.

Tried that, think they were the ones who advised about not taking keys away etc. Anyway me dad's found her. As long as she's not driving about atm... Thanks for your responses btw.

I will try to get back on topic now. With amazing posts like WHY IS THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE NOT ON THIS WEEK :<

Wait, it's two weeks away?

Lol. Keep dreaming. Maybe you need Dortmund to teach you a lesson again.

Freewheelin we've told you! you don't need to use your alt when you wanna banter y'know

people joke about players/managers being cancers on their teams all the time and I don't throw a fit over how my dad passed thanks to that disease. get a fucking grip.

SportWitness:- On Garay the reports are that Manchester United remained very keen and agreed terms with player but wanted to wait until the summer so they could offload some defenders and can get him cheaper in the summer due to contract.

On the other hand, Zenit are greatly interested, have agreed fee with Benfica, however Garay doesn't want to leave due to United interest. Zenit latest move has been to offer him higher wages than Hulk's, which could turn his head.

--

In other news, they say United currently have a scout out to watch midfielder Carvalho closely. May bid for him in the summer.
