Husband developing memory issues

P.S., taking notes in a journal with dates may be helpful. When you return for his next Neuro check, you will have anecdotes detailing his different behaviors and changes over the months, and you can summarize these changes in groupings (e.g., difficulty with temporal items: time/date/month, forgetting or substituting words, personality changes, gluttonous behaviors, etc. ).
I summarize the notes and give to Neuro doc when we have my husband's appointments.
All the best.

Really good idea, I am just at the point of starting to accumulate examples so it will definitely help to write them down. I am finding that my husband is also having major issues with attention, tasks that he has routinely done for deacades get started and abandoned, even something as simple as setting the table for dinner. He is also seems to have a low grade agitation all the time. What has been traumatic is how quickly and dramatically this has happened, which definitely makes me wonder if it could be med related as prior to starting Atenolol in the spring he was not like this. Thanks for your very helpful thoughts, and best wishes for your continuing journey, J.
