We're keeping busy today as it's husband's memory assessment tomorrow. I asked him how he's feeling about it - he said the thing that worries him the most is being told he's lost his driving licence. I said that's not guaranteed by any means, it may not be a form of dementia at all, and even if it is, he's highly unlikely to lose his licence immediately. I said we'll cope with it, whatever it is. It's the uncertainty that's the most worrying, once we know what we're facing - if anything at all - then it'll be easier to deal with. And even if it is some kind of dementia, then there's help available - not a cure but medication to help slow it down. And I'm sure there'll be other kinds of therapy or assistance.
The assessment and tests are going to take around 2 to 2.5 hours apparently, the doctor (a psychiatrist who specialises in memory assessments, so I've been told) is coming here to our home. That should help husband relax a bit more than if he had to go to a hospital or clinic. I think we'll have a day out somewhere on Friday, to either console ourselves or celebrate!
What a change in the weather today, it's gone from warm bright sunshine for the past 2 or 3 days to grey and rainy again. Consistency would be good!
I'm keeping everything crossed for you. xxx
