I know my husband will do whatever he can to help me but with his short term memory now gone it will be up to me to figure out the any answers to questions he may not know.

One thing I did do was to start a notebook in the very beginning with all doctor appts notes, copies of all records from doctors appts and state disability insurance paperwork. I am hoping that might help once we start the SSDI.

I really appreciate the link Shellback and I have bookmarked the website. Janke thank you for the guidance, support and information with your post. I will definitely keep you all posted as I have read some positive outcomes here on Neurotalk
Hopeless thank you for your posts and support. This website is nice place to come and feel welcome to ask questions or look for help.

One final thing Janke you are right, it is not necessary for me to worry about which listing applies to my husband and that is what scared me the most. I was probably overanalyzing the list of conditions and no where did it list dementia. I am confident that the neuropsych testing shows and states that exact thing.

With a new positive outlook I will not be so worried and "Just do it" ala Nike

All the best,
Wheeler
Hi Wheeler,

I hope all goes smoothly for you and your husband. The link for the disability secrets has a huge wealth of information and I am sure you will find all kinds of tips there. It also explains things in plain language. Please keep us posted. Wishing you the best.
