We spent the day at the VA hospital in Ann Arbor the other day, a long long day. (I really feel bad for the people that drive long ways to get there and then have to drive back after hours and hours in that place).
We met with hubby's doctor and the only thing we really learned is that he does NOT have Parkinsons, such a major relief after watching the way my Mom and all of us suffered from that. One of my long time friends has had to put her husband in a nursing home because of it. No one wants to have to do that!
He also does NOT have a brain tumor or AZ.
Now we have to wait until the end of May to see the Neurologist to find out just what the heck is going on with the dementia.
One thing I did find out that I am very upset about is that for years he has told them that he drank 12-24 beers a day for over twenty years!!!!!!!!! They have him classified as an alcoholic. He NEVER drank that much, we never had that kind of money and I would have left years ago had that been true. I think when he first told them that it was his macho man stupidity that was speaking. For some reason men like to stretch certain truths to look manly, I think it is absurd!
Anyway, I am now annoyed with him because this is going to cost us money in co-pays.
Now he has to see a hand surgeon about the shaking and a trigger finger.
And he has to go to the kidney doctor and the eye clinic. VA just keeps you coming and going.
