I guess I would like a diagnosis of the dementia. I would be heartbroken to mislabel him, yet he takes two different medications for it and seems to have many symptoms. Yet these neurology appts are follow ups for the shunt. He also had two brain bleeds from a fall.
For all I know it is just his older age.
I appreciate your time and information, both are valuable. Thank you!

Hi, our only diagnosis came from a Neuropsychologist, since we have no Neurologists in our town (and waited nearly 2 years to see a Neurologist).
Perhaps you live close to one of the Mayo Clinics and he can be tested there.
Take care. 🌹
