I agree hardebeck. My mom has the same thing beginning stages of Dem/Alz and for a time I would get disgusted and say I just told you too. I noticed it was hurting her feelings so I stopped.
Again I do the same thing Ihardebeck does....just repeat and repeat and repeat. Sometimes I ignore the question and it goes away but for the most part don't say anything, just deal with what's happening.
Please stay on topic or ask a new question.
