There are a few tricks of language that can be learned to mask the disease from occasional visitors. My mother used them all. She's 86, and has been diagnosed for 3 years. I saw her only occasionally as we lived a distance apart. 1) When asked directly: " Ask your father, I'm busy right now." 2) When discovered to be incorrect: "Oh yes! That's right, what was I thinking" 3) When discovered to be incorrect: " Oh, you know I was just kidding" 4) When asked directly :" That's right up your alley. You should know better than anyone. 5) When asked directly: "I'm not a spring chicken you know" Now not everyone that utters these phrases has something to hide... and they won't hide the disease, from anyone that spends some time with the patient, for more than a month ... But remember it is embarrassing for the patient not to be able to recall an answer, and only natural to try to cover up. Be forgiving of their mistakes, and forgetfulness. The disease is terrifying because you don't know there is anything wrong, or if you do, it's forgotten in a short time, and you are back to square one, not knowing. You know how ridiculous you feel for losing the car keys.....when you finally find them. Imagine finding them and not knowing their purpose.
