Hello @teacher502 and @larryh123, my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease about two years ago, after an MRI and a day of neuropsychological testing. It was gruelling for him, but useful at the time, as it confirmed the diagnosis, which I wanted to deny. His disease is progressing slowly and his memory comes and goes. Yesterday he knew who the people I was talking about were, whereas he did not know who they were the day before. He stopped driving without a fight and has stepped down from managing our finances. In our current situation, I don't think more neuropsychological testing would be beneficial. It would involve a flight to another island, take two days, and upset him. He does have a low tolerance for doing difficult things and changes in routine upset him. He still functions well around the house, helps me with chores when I ask, and overall, has a pleasant disposition.
