Have I got Dementia?

SH

2018

I'd like to show my friend my room,
Where is my room?
Which number is it?

​

Its down the corridor
on the left hand side
It has number 2 on the door
Do you remember?

​

Yes, thank you.

​

I'd like to show my friend my room,
Where is my room?
Which number is it?

​

Its down the corridor
on the left hand side
It has number 2 on the door
Do you remember?

​

Yes, thank you.

​

I'd like to show my friend my room,
Where is my room?
Which number is it?

​

Its down the corridor
on the left hand side...
Shall I come with you
we can find it together.
Here it is, number 2.

​

This isn't my room
These aren't my things.
Where is my room ...

Makes me think that ...
