Tuesday, October 07, 2008 at 09:00 AMThanks for the information, I read it. So far my Aunt lets both of us go into see the dr. He is really good about talking to us all.Now we need to get her a nerologist that will listen to us. Also asking about Theropist for her. Shes at the stage she knows her memory is going,shakey hands and easily aggetated but doesn't understand why? Her daughter is in denial so I'm also dealing with that. Thats why the Alz meeting tonight for her. So wish me luck with daughter and meeting.What is it like at these meetings can anyone tell me? Again Thanks for your input.
