He has seen a doctor and is on two medications. He will not do to a specialist and is only seeing his family doctor. He has two employees in place to take over the business when he decides to leave, but will not relinquish any type of pertinent information to them at this point.
He was given a test at the first visit and the doctor called it mild cognitive disorder. When we went for a follow up appointment he mentioned dementia but I’m not sure he remembers that.
He also has hallucinations at night but feels he is dreaming. At first they scared him and now he says he just reaches out to grab and move away.
He gets angry when I mention what he’s forgetting although he knows he is forgetting.
I’m just not sure how much I should say to him. We don’t live together and I do think sometimes he may not eat. He can’t always remember what he’s had if I ask him. He can still drive and function on a daily basis. I don't believe he’s ever gotten lost, but doesn’t really travel outside of our area. We do live in a small community and he’s been here all of his life.
