Oct. 23rd, 2015 12:15 amSo, everyone who saw Andrew yesterday thinks it *is* neurological, and they're going to revisit all the tests done earlier this year. I feel like this is progress of a sort. The bit that worries me is whether neurological=incurable -- someone asked "has anyone ever suggested it might be Lewy Body Dementia?" and I really don't want it to be that.
He was confused throughout the appointment -- the bland institutional setting didn't give him much to help focus his attention. On the MOCHA test, he did fine on connect-the-dots, drawing the clock face, reading, etc, but couldn't remember his name or what day of the week it was. When asked the date, he pondered, then suddenly came out with "OCTOBER 21ST 2015!!" adding "ONE POINT TWO ONE GIGAWATTS!!" I noticed the example sentence he wrote down was a paraphrase of the opening to The Call of Cthuhlu. I wonder what the neurologist will make of that.
