I'm exhausted and way tired *whine*, but there is good news:
Last Monday K had a cognitive test, the first since his surgery. There are some distinct problems for him, and there is something distictly right: They took off his dementia diagnosis and now have him in the 'mild cognitive impairment' category. Who knows, maybe the surgery worked and I was wrong. Maybe I just noticed more than before.
His impairments are still very pronounced. He has trouble sequencing, delayed recall, calculation issues, and he scored 13 out of 15 on the geriatric depression scale. And they can't tell me that in a test like that they can measure his forgetfulness after a week. I see it - they don't.
Still all in all good news. I'll udate more when I'm not working so many hours.
