Is it really dementia, or just old age?
They think I have dementia. What do I do?
I went to my doctor today to complain about the "memory loss" everyone around me keeps talking about. Honestly, why should I even bother? All my friends forget things, too. Even the last doctor I saw dismissed it as just old age. So why would they now insist I have dementia?
I am a man of standing, with significant wealth and a large family. I can’t help but wonder: are these people just looking for a way to seize my assets while I’m still alive? Is that why they are so quick to pin this label on me?
I must admit, in my quiet moments, that I have struggled with my memory for the past three years. I usually fail to admit it out loud, but the fog seems to thicken day by day. Yet, my friends have similar complaints, and nobody is worried about them. Why should mine be the disease?
Dementia. Dementia. What do they even say it is?
They call it a disease that affects the brain, causing a person to change. They claim I have dementia because I have "changed," but I believe they are the ones who fail to understand the thoughts and feelings of an aging man.
