Marion,

I was ordered to take a full neuropsychological evaluation by a second opinion neurologist. The full test was exhausting and lasted a full seven hours with two bathroom breaks and 30 minute lunch.

The bottom line when I asked the doctor how I did, she responded with, "Well you did very well for a 76 year old." That sucked because I was 51 years old when I took the test. She followed up by saying that should be a good representation of where you really are an what you're dealing with right now.

I still have a copy of her full report and it is not flattering in any way. At the same time there was a huge sigh of relief and vindication that I was not going crazy and it was all in my head. (No pun intended.)

It is now six years later and I'm still hanging in there, albeit challenged more and more each day. Life goes on.
