I speak with my mother over the phone (long distance situation). She has heart failure and possible early dementia (one doc said maybe) so it is hard to know.
Here is what is happening. She talks to me over the phone and in the middle of conversation she will be talking about something entirely different and unrelated to what I "think" she was talking about before. So I stop her and ask her "are we still talking about so and so? and she will say ""no, now we are talking about such and such". And, I am totally lost and confused. This happens a lot and I was wondering if anyone has experienced feeling lost and confused over what they are saying. Thanks.
But if the conversations you are having with your mom are not typical of the conversations you've had with her in the past she may have dementia. Has she been evaluated?
