[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your dad is on the younger side to need so much help - but I wonder if that’s because he’s a man? Most of the elderly women in my orbit are quite self-sufficient, take themselves to appointments, etc. Thank you for sharing. I do think it’s hard to generalize - many elderly people are capable of having meaningful conversations, etc. but I do understand where you’re coming from.[/quote] He was always a bit of a man child, and he isn’t capable of fully comprehending what the dr says (too fast for him and too complex). On the surface he doesn’t seem cognitively impaired; in fact he can come off as an intelligent, educated man, but all his knowledge is out of date and very theoretical. My brother thinks he has some undiagnosed special needs or something, he is amazingly bad at taking care of himself. -OP [/quote]
