Yes, I change the subject when my husband repeatedly asks the same question. It’s worse when we are in the car on our way to an appointment so now I write the time, doctor name and type, and city on a post-it note and stick it on the dash so he can see it. That helps.

Nothing to do but keep answering his questions. He can’t remember he just asked that a little bit earlier. I learned to keep the answers short. At first I would write the answer on a piece of paper and he would stick it in his shirt pocket, but eventually he couldn’t remember to look there. Also he didn’t relate to pronouns (he, she, they etc). I had to say the person’s name. I got used to it so eventually it didn’t bother me so much.

Yep. I just keep answering . No way to resolve the memory loss issue.

Frequency of question is prominent with Dimentia.Short term memory suffers frequently

We have been told to "redirect". Chang the subject in other words.
