I have a problem with short term memory - I thought a brilliant idea was to note everything on postits - I've a mobility problem so it can take me ages to get from the lounge (and PC) to the kitchen. How often have I made my way to the kitchen and can't remember for the life of me why I came but I do generally find sthg.to do.
I make my way back to the lounge and behold! my postit lying there. Start again, Artful!
Well I'm no medic mycatis, so I shouldn't have sounded so certain. It is just that your granny is displaying all the signs my Nana showed before being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Hopefully I'm WAY off the mark here and it's a lesser form of dementia, or better still, it's just some silly diet deficiency that can be cured with vitamin supplements.
Like I say - I'm no doctor but you asked about your Granny's health and the experience I have with my Nana's health tells me that the best thing for YOUR Granny, is a trip to the GP.
Sorry if I have seemed rude - I haven't meant to. Guess it's just a sensitive area for me. But one I coudln't ignore.
Otherwise, mycatis, your gran's GP will surely be able to give suggestions of where you could go or different tests that can be done. As Lindylou and acw say - go along and I would say the sooner the better. Especially with all this hot weather coming along, it's uncomfy at the best of times but if nerves are already on the frayed side it could be even worse.
