I hope you get some good help at John Hopkins. Here is some information from the National Stroke Association regarding strokes as well as support groups, just click on the link,
https://www.stroke.org/we-can-help/
You and your husband might find it helpful to read through the website and become familiar with the information provided there. There is also a way you can input your city and state and find support groups. Support groups will help you realize that you are not alone, much like here on Connect.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post an update after your appointment?

Thanks I will post once I get done. My understanding is the report will be several weeks after the testing. I will post about the process as well as the results. I have several concerns I hope I can find guidance on. First, Long before my stroke, I had CRPS on my left side. This resulted in nerve damage that is treated by Lyrica. Lyrica can cause some cognitive issues. Secondly my mother had dementia. We are not sure exactly what age she was when she started to get it. She was very good at covering. Lastly, I want to have a benchmark of where I stand cognitively. Then I hope I could always be retested in the future to see if anything is changing for the worst.
