A brain like an unraveling sweater

Last night I watched Don take a note to himself.  He wrote down the information about when he was going to be picked up by Senior Services.   Then he asked where he was going.   I told him he had scheduled himself to go to the grocery store.  Then he asked why they were picking up later that day.   I said - to come home from the grocery store.

He wrote that down, and then asked again where he was going.  He read what he had written and couldn't understand it.  He tried to write down notes for Thursday, and then said that was too many things to remember.

This morning he asked me when he was going.   When his ride arrived after I had left for work, he told them he didn't want to go.   I'm sure he went back to bed.   Senior Services Transportation is very upset with him-he has messed up three appointments in a row.

I don't know if this is just a bad week, or a permanent dysfunction.
