My psychiatrist looked at the document I created for my Dad's neurologist to see. He said it was done perfectly. He seemed shocked by how ideal of a document it is. The actual content was definitely mine, but I confess that my husband chopped it down significantly, and did his magic. It helps to be married to the son of a neurologist/psychiatrist. I sent it to my sister who was also quite happy with it.

My psychiatrist has never met my dad. He has heard oodles about him, and after reviewing my document he said that the neurologist should consider the diagnosis of frontotemporal lobe dementia. Honestly, that dx has come up during the recent years. I do hope the neurologist does a very thorough examination. We just want to know what is truly happening already. We thought that our father had had a CT scan and MRI last year, but apparently not. Our father refused those tests. He'll likely try to refuse them again.
