The NH called saying that dad was asking to talk to me and in a panic about something. He got on the phone and started talking about our meeting with the school.... and this family ..... and what about the kids??? He doesn't know what's happening....

Well this was all nonsense. I just calmed him down said the kids were doing their home work, and we don't have any meeting at the school. This calmed him down and he asked when he'll see us all (he had just seen us on the New Year.) I said I'd see him this weekend.

This is truly unusual. He has never acted like this before. I don't know what to make of it. Is he hallucinating, or daydreaming and thinking that it's really happening??

The nurse seemed really worried and said she'd put in a report to his doctor.

I just don't know what got into my usually mild-mannered quiet Dad!

Check to see if he has a urinary tract infection. Sometimes the symptoms of the infection don't manifest for awhile...at least not to the naked eye...but the cognitive changes do.

The behavior started last week after a fall. But he underwent all the testing and all was clear. Then he seemed better over the weekend though still a bit weeker and rundown.

Now this new panic over imagined happenings... it's got me thinking that the AD is progressing or he is in another phase.

I'm afraid to take him out for too long because he can just stop walking and fall. He does this quite often in NH.
