By-George, I think you have it!
My step-dad had Alzheimer’s and would wander off. We got him a medical ID bracelet with his name and my name and number. Saved him more than once.
In leavenworth its called (C.R.S.) for Cant Remember S***.
American beer, like Coors Light? I can’t imagine ingesting enough to be drunk in any real way.
I am 71 and the last living member (youngest) of my family. All before me developed the disease in their early 70”s and succumbed completely with it by the age of 77. All were driving issues.
I now show early signs of that devil disease and have made many changes in my lifestyle .
1. Hired a great Tax and Trust lawyer to put all my eggs in a legal basket.
2. Elevated trusted employees to ownership positions.
3. Given power of attorney to my CEO. Who is a 30 year employee.
4. Given the president a large position in the stock.
5. Set up trust so my wife will have “no problems”
6. Last but not least.. Purchased a Prius and had it programed to “go home” plus all places I normally go during the day. Put in effect a Sat. tracker..... Nice
I had a friend who had a problem with his dad. It took some time to realize there was a problem
Sometimes his dad would drive to town to the bank. He would apparently become disorientated and would go to an insurance agency several blocks from the bank. He would ask for his agent that was no longer there. They saw that he got home.
After the second or third time his driving priviledge was curtailed.
It was sad because the man was healthy and still played golf
Father’s mistress found safe 110 miles away.
Bears defense and coaching staff have been missing for 8 weeks
It was obviously an alien abduction.
You blew suspension of disbelief right at the end, there.
I think your analysis is spot on. If just beer, even if he was very drunk, he would have sobered up in less than 5 days. I think he’s got something mental going on - probably early onset Alzheimers or dementia. While family/friends may not have noticed while he was at home/work, once he had a few beers and was in an unfamiliar place with lots of people/confusion going on, it exacerbated his condition. His family should take this as a serious issue and have him evaluated. I had an uncle (now deceased) with Alzheimers/dementia and this sounds a lot like some of his early ‘episodes’.
Lol! I think you’re the one consuming beer, shots, and smoking a little weed if you think that score would ever happen.
Great thinking. That, aside from a sudden onset of cognitive dysfunction, would be about the only likely explanation.
Yep. And if I ever used fugue state as an excuse my wife would tell me, "Fugue you."
Yes, someplace warm, all right.
Many a man has wandered off in pursuit of same.
This guy though---I'm thinking Alzheimer's.
Horrid disease. Prayers for the family.
Hold muh beer. For a couple days. :-)
