They cannot do anything much for dementia

My husband died from vascular dementia.

I was trying to get them to run an MRI scan on him but the resources aren't there for it where I live so I gave up on that idea.

He was dx'd in Feb. 2022 and was gone on May 12, 2022.

He didn't want any tests and he didn't want to go see a neuropsychiatrist either, not that I blamed him.

Sad reality = dementia.

I don't believe you have this problem CTyankee.



Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
