Thank you so much. I guess until I settle in with what is happening with H and get some sort of schedule plus watch him so he doesn't give away everything it is going to be rough.
I do need to get a diagnosis. Unfortunately our family doc hasn't been able to do much and getting H to a psychiatrist, well just mention that and all hades would break loose.

If he is exhibiting any physical changes maybe you can get him to see a neurologist, preferably one that is familiar with dementia. That's where we started. The neurologist diagnosed my husband with Parkinsonism in 2017. I took him to the Mayo Clinic in 2021 and they diagnosed Lewy Body Dementia. Having a dementia diagnosis helped a lot because it turned on our Long Term Care Insurance.
