I found the follow-up appointment to the testing to be really helpful and eye-opening. Looking at my husband’s results against the norms was actual data I couldn’t explain away to myself or him. Later, thinking about it, I realized how many ongoing small adjustments we’d made to daily living, as my husband’s thinking abilities declined.
The follow-up appointment was also really helpful in that it galvanized me to find an Elder Law attorney and get all the important legal matters in place- updated wills, Advanced Directives, POA. I’ve never used the POA, but it’s in place for the future.
One thing I wasn’t prepared for at the appointment, and found shocking, was seeing the test parts he had trouble with. His clock had one number and no clock hands. I googled what the clock test shows and that was eye-opening too.
My husband had repeat testing after 8 years and having that baseline data to compare and contrast to proved very helpful to his doctors. It helped me to get a sense of where we’re going with all this and plan accordingly.

Hello @Becksbuddy ... hope things are moving along with your quest for a diagnosis. I just wanted to mention, in case you don’t know, that a Neuropsychologist is not a medical doctor (M.D.) degree. He/she is at the doctorate level and as such, can make diagnoses. They typically are the ones who administer psychological tests as their degree means they have expertise in this area. Blessings.
