A Blog for care givers to talk freely. Give and receive tips in caring for a loved one with dementia. My mother was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's 3 1/2 years ago. She is now suffering with severe Alzheimer's.

doctors
Today we went to an eye specialist per moms doctors request. Moms eyes are fine minimal cataracts which is to be expected at her age. I took along my information on the loss of visuospatial skill. She was on her best behavior through the whole process (3 hours long). Now mom can go back to her regular optomitrist. I think what bothers me is that her primary doctor did not have the same information I did on mom. I can't say it enough if you are a primary care giver get and read all medical records. All hospitalization records. We have one goal to keep our loved ones as healthy as possible. I can add another hat as a patient advocate.
sorry computer was down
