[quote=Anonymous]Grandpa has started to forget things like details from conversations. We noticed he now writes everything down or asks visitors to (“Write down today’s date and that you visited, and remind me when you are going on vacation.”). I had a conversation with him yesterday reminding him that today is his grandson’s birthday and that he should call to say hello and wish him HBD. Then the conversation shifted, and I reminded him again before I left an hour later—saying, “Remember to call Larlo tomorrow.” And he said, “Right. Because he’s going to pick me up for my doctor’s appointment, is that right?” So, that sort of thing. Do I take him to his primary doctor or someone else? What kind of evaluations are helpful? Are there actual scans? Do they prescribe meds? Trying to figure out next steps. [/quote]
