My darling doesn’t drive anymore. His truck sat out in the driveway gathering dust and loosing spunk and value everyday. The children and I decided to sell it. Out son took it home to see how its absence went and to prepare to sell it. Every time James went outside and saw it was gone he would ask where it was. I would tell him where it was and that Drew was driving it some. I finally told him that we wanted to sell it and why. Everything hit the fan. He would ask twenty times a day where it was and would get upset and argue about it each time. He once asked why we were trying to get rid of all his stuff before he was even dead. . In fact he just became cranky in general. I finally called Drew and left a message. Please bring the truck home, we are going to let it sit in the drive way and rot!!!!!!!!! James asked me about five more times where his truck was and each time I told him that Drew was going to bring it home. So James was satisfied. He got un-cranky. He even told Drew over the phone not to be in any hurry to bring it home when it was convenient. So now he is back to his old self .
WHY????? We know he can’t remember about any of this; so why has his mood changed?
I remember reading about a test done on some Alzheimer’s patients. They were shown movies that were sad and movies that were happy. Ten minutes later they did not remember seeing the movie but they retained the emotion of being either happy or sad. So strange.
I told a friend about this and he said his wife would not let me watch sad movies. She would only let him watch Black Beauty and such movies.
