Hello: the detailed notes I keep about my husband's behaviors really help the Neuro Doc with their comprehensive diagnosis (paired with three hours of cognitive testing, baseline in 2024 and again in '25). They only see you in their office for a short while and ask a lot of questions, so the info you provide (since you're with him 24/7 and know him better than anyone) proves invaluable.
The diagnosis won't change the outcome, however it will help with resources.
Caution though: once he has a diagnosis you may want the Doc to write a note for DMV that he can't drive anymore. You will be held liable if he drives, injures person/property and you knew of his diagnosis and still let him drive.
Keep checking in and we'll support each other. 🫂

That is one thing I sure could use is the resources that become available.

Good advice on the DMV, never even thought about that.
