And hey - see if your primary will order neuropsych testing. At the end of the day, the tests we really care about are the ones telling us how the brain is working. I came out of that test session with a diagnosis of mild to moderate neurocognitive disorder. I will retest every 15-18 mos. I will use those results to inform decisions such as when to give my son my car keys etc. i don't want to be passive and leave the hard decisions to him. Based on my family history and my research, I predict I am 3-4 yrs from that decision. But theres no predicting exact timing.
Good luck!
Well that Answers my question about why the wait. I’d tell him put me on the list.
