Has anyone had a similar experience? I haven't posted for a while as life seems to have reached a settled spell for a while and my husband is on an even keel for the moment. He's just had a mini mental test and suprised us all by getting a score of 29! When he was first diagnised, he scored 26 then 6 months later 27 and now 29. I saw a report in the media that Reminyl (which he is on) has proved to be a better drug than the doctors thought as it appeared to not only support the memory that was left but also to imrpove it. That's one up for NICE!
In every day living, he can't understand conversations, doesn't know the names of everyday items, needs help to choose his clothes, can't shop on his own and gets lost in places he hasn't, visited for a while!
Also, he has to go into hospital for an operation in a few months time. I realise the whole episode will be trying for him, but how have other TP people found their partners after an operation? I've also read that there can be a temporary or permanent downturn of AD. I don't want to believe all I read but I do like to be prepared.
