Is it just me or do other people with this terrible illness also keep persistently asking and checking what the time of day is?

This might sound amusing to some people but its an actual account described to me by my dear wife of what I was like when we were waiting at the doctors surgery for my check up a short time ago

We arrived at the doctors surgery in good time, in fact a bit early and then told by the receptionist that the doctor was running a bit late due to a meeting so we settled down as best we could on the hard bench watching the TV

Within five minutes or less I was stating to get rather fed up and fidgety so checked the time on my watch

A few moments later I turned to my dear wife and asked whats the time as I looked at my watch has my watch stopped? So she tells me not to worry

A few moments later Im fidgeting on the seat complaining its too hard huffing and puffing and gazing at my watch again where is the doctor (Again Im told not to worry)

A few moments later I stand up wringing my hands together, twisting and turning my body and scrutinizing my watch why is she so late (Told not to panic and to sit down)

A few moments later I stand up again look at my watch, then sit down then stand up again, look at my watch, then sit down again (My dear wife says, will you please relax and sit still)

A few moments later Im gazing at my watch again where is she I need the loo, have we got time as I cant wait look at my watch again (Told its OK, theres plenty of time for you to go to the loo)

A few moments later once I return form the loo has she arrived yet, look at my watch again, sit down, start fidgeting looking at watch again scratching my head gazing intensely at my watch

Then at last my dear wife said the doctor has arrived I check the time on my watch (Oh, shes only Ten minutes late!) but to my mind it had seemed like a whole day had passed by

Im not sure who was more relived Me, or My dear wife but such can be the affects of (Time) on the confused mind
