Hi Jay,
Actually what you post was something I was also thinking because I know something like an illness or major stress can bring out the effects of Alzheimer's more strongly. This is something I learned in cognitive psych and lifespan development. Plus there is the element of being stubborn to really seeing it, usually others will see it before the actual person does. In therapy we are working one on one every hour, every week, I think it is very possible to see when something is not quite right.
I am glad you posted because I was thinking of this also and he is at the age 66 where it can happen.
I think I will still go to my other session with Thurs. with the new T this week, if anything to discuss this situation. I couldn't tell my current T about this yet, I just didn't have the heart to. Maybe he will help me work out all of this.
