When I had a problem years back with communicating with my adult son, I remember him always trying to project back on me, like it was my problem. Loved ones in denial do that. Why, we need to go figure out the way to just get him into the doctor, even if you're doing it, under the guise of both of you getting tested, since he thinks you have the problem, etc. That's actually how I did it. Once in, the rest will fall in place. I remember when we came back from the neurologist, who tested him, and he tripped up, identifying three words: "apple, river, pear." Every morning now, we make a joke of it, and he certainly remembers now those words.....So at least we moved onto the stage of both realizing we're trying to fix a problem. I just purchased a book from Mayo " on, "Mayo Clinic on Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias", to help better understand the disease, the importance of sleep, hearing, social engagement, and diet as I read that a Mediterranean Diet may help people with this progressive disease. So I'm trying to get as much information as I can. You can order the book from Mayo. I think it was $32.00. I'm sure we'll be talking again through Mayo Connect.
