Who are you?

Today, being the nice grandchild that I am, I went to visit my grandmother. She didn't recognise who I was. I thought she was joking. She later called the police as, "Some weirdo had walked into her house." I'm that weirdo; she wasn't joking. FML

Tell your folks they might want to get Granny tested. She may have Alzheimer's and need looking after.

That's awful, my grandmother had alzheimer's and stopped being able to recognize me at one point, it broke my heart.

oh dude, that's so awful. read up on dementia though because usually there are other warning signs. we're in the middle of trying to get my grandmother diagnosed and it's been one of the biggest heartaches of my life. i hope that it's not dementia with your grandma and that it's something simple and fixable. honestly my heart is bleeding for you right now.

ummmm....forgetting your own name is not exactly a normal part of the aging process.

Ditto FerrariCake. It's just dimentia. My grandmother doesn't recognize me either. Why don't you try worrying more about your grandmother's condition and stop being a self centered asshole?!

I agree. Try worrying about others for a change, instead of crying about how you haven't etched yourself into the skulls of all whose presence you grace. F granny's life.

well that sucks. i guess your grandma is getting old. although i don't think it was necessary to flaunt how nice you apparently are for visiting.

Um, don't you think you should have her checked out? Y'know, instead of whining about it on FML...?

stfu OPs gran is (im assuming maybe wrongly) old and has dementia and if she hasn't seen the op in quite awhile she probably finds it hard to recognise him especially if he has changed his appearance in any way since last seeing him. By posting a retard comment like that you have shown yourself to be an idiot griefer. @OP sorry about ur gran having dementia that sucks my gran suffered from it aswell. go see her as often as possible and it will slow the effects of dementia down.

You spelt "recognize" wrong. Just sayin'. :/

No, 'recognize' is the American way of spelling it. In the UK, Australia etc, we spell it like 'recognise' :)

um no, recognise and recognize are both right. same as spelled and spelt.
