thanks Grannie G- I did ! 10 days ago! He's happy because Eric's MMSE score is still 29! I mentioned his lethargy/lack of mobility and he shrugged his shoulders and said " Hmm-but he hasn't got age on his side" He's only 71 and before this was fit and well-golfing 3 times weekly/doing charity concerts with the piano/always ready for a party. But -a big but- that visit to the consultant had been uppermost in Eric's mind because he thought if he "passed the tests" he would drive again-consultant told him it would probably not happen-could be a result of that . Yet he doesn't remember going to hospital!(He says) I FEEL things are accelerating but I don't KNOW. That's the frustration, isn't it -because we never know and can't predict and I keep thinking-"maybe he'll be better tomorrow"
