It really is a personal thing and everyone has to decide what feels right for their situation. I’ll just add that that with cognitive issues, people usually don’t acknowledge they have a problem. Reasoning, convincing, etc, doesn’t usually work.

Yes, I see that, we will keep working on this, and will find a way to get to the dr. Some very wise words here on how to do that and great support for the process.
Where we live, we are looking at a standard wait time of 2 months for a primary care appointment, and 4-6 months for a neurologist. I don't know if these kinds of issues warrant a prioritized appointment? It is scary to think that even acting today it could be 8 months before he can see a specialist. I wonder what others' experiences have been with care and treatment timelines?
Many thanks, Celia, being new to the forum and not the saviest, I'm not sure I am using it correctly and getting back to everyone!
