Yes, maybe the doc didn't say it like that at all.

When people without knowledge relay info of medical nature, it doesn't always go well. Just a few years ago I learned my gramma did NOT have Alzheimers. My dad always said she did. But I happened to speak to his sister who said she had dementia like symptoms because of blood clots (vascular dementia). So I asked my dad why all these years he said gramma had Alzheimers when she did not. He just stared at me and sorta hissed at me "Same difference". Which it is not! I tried to explain. He is still worried he will inherit her "Alzheimers" that she actually did not have.

Sorry about the rant but..... maybe ask the doc what they REALLY said...?
