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. 🌹

I guess it all got fuzzy when he was referred to the neurologist by his family physician, her thinking it may be Parkinson's. Lots of tests and time to discover the hydrocephalus.
I think any other diagnosis may have gotten lost in the mix.
Ha, I just remembered that the neurologist said depending on how long the spinal fluid was sitting on top of the brain affects how much cognitive recovery there would be.
But he got better and the last year and a half he had been degrading. All they can do is medications I guess.
I think I need to bite the bullet and all at the next appointment what is going on.
Recently I asked my husband if he's noticed the decline and he got pretty upset. Said he was just fine. I said, do you realize you are watching the same shows over and over again. He told me eventually he realizes he seen it before. 🤷
