Each time we went to the Memory Clinic, John was asked several questions such as:
What day is it today? What month is it? What is the year? Who is the Prime Minister? Who is the President of the USA? Then he was told 3 words, and had to repeat them. He was then asked if he remembered them later.
He was given a diagram to copy. A sheet of A4 paper was placed on the floor between him and the doctor, and he was asked to pick it up and put it on the table, in front of the doctor.
He was shown a drawing of 2 animals, one was a penguin and one was something else, either a cat or dog and he was asked which one would prefer the cold weather. The first questions were always the same ones, each time we went. The others varied.
I believe the possible score was 30. After the first couple of visits, I decided to pass the Receptionist a Statement, to give to the doctor, which explained how John had deteriorated from the last time, as this saved her asking me anything, and me fluffing about, trying to answer truthfully, without upsetting John.
By the time he was at the final stages, he didn't answer anything correctly, and the doctor said "thank you John, you take care and we don't need to see you any more". John told her she had lovey legs, and gave her a kiss.
When we got home, my daughter asked us "how did it go" and he replied "I passed with flying colours".
