I’m in my late 40s and talked to my GP today. I think I might have it. Tests arranged in a forthright. Anyone else been through it and can offer a handhold? Or tell me what to expect?
Haven’t yet told my DH. I’m not sure if I should, until I go through the initial tests, at least.
Couple of weeks ago, I was walking back from the school run and I was absentmindedly listening to the chatter of the parents in front of me, musing whether it was Portuguese or Spanish.... when I looked up and I realised I had no idea when or where I was. Just for a split second and as panic seeped in, I remember clinging on to their voices.. parents... so school.. but I had no idea if it was morning or afternoon, if I should be turning around because I was meant to be picking up... then I realised I wasn’t sure how old my daughter was or if she was still in that school.
I’m scared shitless. Lots of absent minded behaviour in the last year that I’ve easily dismissed until this happened.
