January ‘25 – Lisa’s PCP wants to get her into the Alzheimer’s Clinic at KU Med* asap. The clinic requires a Brain MRI & Neuropsychological testing before admittance.
We completed both in May and the results of both indicate her dementia is Alz with Vascular dementia as well.
June 17 – The Neuropsychologist recommended that she quit driving at once. Her problem solving ability is very low and she is unable to quickly process information. I slept on it and decided that we must comply, the risk is too big. She is NOT happy about this. Lucky for me the bad guy in this scenario is the Neuropsychologist that made the recommendation.
Just got this from my mom’s cousin. It goes on a lot more and sounds pretty serious.
He’s only like a half a generation older than me - like 65 and his wife the same. Just scary this can come on so fast. I’ve seen Lisa within the last year and she seemed the same as ever. The crazy thing is she’s always looked young for her age and could easily pass for 50. Their kids are still in their 20s.
