My 83 year old father fell and hit his head the first week of April this year. He had a brain bleed and subsequently emergency brain surgery. It did not come out well for him with the result being frontal and temporal love damage as well as vascular dementia. He has had numerous short lived comebacks and setbacks.
BUT in the past two weeks he has predicted future events believing they had already happened. At the time he made these statements we tried to assure him that these things had not happened. However within the next two days they actually did happen! It's totally freaking us out and we are wondering if anyone else has heard of this.
We know in his own mind he's living in the late 70s/early 80s in most cases (where he lives, thinks his parents are still alive - both died in 83, etc.) But it's almost like he is seeing the future 3 days in the future in reverse. Let me explain. Last week one evening my wife visited him in the nursing home. As soon as she walked in he started apologizing to her for going off on her and the just horrible things he had said to her the day before He was in years. She comforted him and assured him that he never did any such thing. Finally she said goodnight and left. She told me about it when she got home.
The next day all was normal except he again apologized, to me this time for the horrible things he had said to my wife. I again assured him that he never said anything to apologize for.
The next morning my wife went to visit him and this time he unleashed a flood of the meanest nastiest foul crap you could heap onto a person. She ran out, came home in years saying she would never go see him again and wanted nothing to do with him. Now I was furious.
I have had to sit him down and speak directly into his face with eye contact to get him to understand things. I did so again. He started crying. He said " I know I said horrible things but I already apologized to both of you."
That's when it hit me. He apologized for the exact thing that would happen 2 days in the future.
Similarly timed predictions have come to be reality 2 more times over the past week.
