My dad suffered a severe accident a couple of years ago. He hurt his head badly and had to be operated on. After that he was in Intensive Care for over a month and had to be sent to a rehabilitation center to re-learn all the basics (speaking, eating, drinking and walking). He really did well and can now manage on his own, but since his recent memory seemed to take longer to come to normal, we visited a specialist in neurology who diagnosed him with AD - early stages, he said. Can an accident like the one he suffered trigger this disease? What are we supposed to do whenever he insists on being right about anything which is totally wrong; should we try to make him understand? We're really confused about this point...Thanks for your help!
