Why do Dr's ask a person with suspected dementia what day it is, it doesn't matter when we are retired or who the prime minister is, they only last five minutes anyway. Watched my mother in law asked these questions but she only knew the difference between night and day.

I was in the emergency room at the hospital and in the next bed was a 94-year-old gentleman. They were trying to assess him by asking him those questions (what day is it, who is the prime minister etc) and he answered every question with "What the heck do I care? I'm 94 you know". And it was evident by his happy tone that he truly didn't care.

My hubby gets the days mixed up. He is either behind a day or in front a day. I sometimes have to think what day it is. When it comes to what date it is today, I either look at the calendar or stop and think.

I just don't care I rely on my wife to tell me when the kids and grandkids birthdays are everything else doesn't matter

I have a Google Nest Hub and regularly ask it those questions. I'm waiting for the day that the voice comes back, "For God's sake get a bloody diary!!!"

Can't say that anymore they changed our day to Wednesday. From the time I have grown up, to everywhere we have lived, bin day has always been Thursdays, and now we have missed two of them because they even swapped the recycle as well. NOT HAPPY JAN

I got caught out once, when I put a tiny little pin prick hole, at the bottom of 4 dates on a calendar... just so I'd know.

A few uneventful months had gone by, until one day in the kitchen, my mostly adorable partner pointed at the calendar and said "what do you think these tiny pin holes are for?

I immediately hung my head and mumbled as I walked into the loungeroom, "It's secret men's business darling' I can't tell you."

About an hour later, while snuggled up together watching a video, she suddenly sat bolt upright, and proceeded to hit me a couple of times with a light fluffy cushion. I checked my calendar later and nuh...

she was early (sigh) Its a tricky business...
