Thank you very much for your response Teri. He sees the Primary Dr. in approx. 2 weeks, and I intended to let her know his issues because he needs a referral to see a neurologist. I would prefer he see a neurologist at the VA because they were 100% better than any that we have seen with our health plan, however, with Covid, it is not viable at this point with his heart issue. I have checked the symptoms for Alzheimers and Dementia several times and he does not appear to have any other symptoms other than his memory. The tremors, shuffling of his feet occasionally and low speech mimic Parkinsonism. I am happy to hear that your husband appears to be doing much better than some with this horrible disease. And you are very lucky that your husband gave up on driving and handling your finances easily. The driving may be much easier than the finances, and I agree. It is not easy at all. I go through doubts here and there because one minute he seems fine and the next, he doesn't remember what he did 5 minutes ago. I did ask him if he wanted me to label things for him and he actually said yes which surprized me, so I definitely will do that asap. I also wish you the best as well. Stay strong.

My husband resisted the labelling idea so now I search the kitchen and the pantry looking for things he puts away in different places. That's a small price to pay for him doing the dishes. And since breaking his hip, he actually seems better, in terms of his mood and strength. Good luck with the referral.
