Testing/venting

Ed's mom

I am going to explode!

The person doing the testing needs a caregiver, she can't remember anything. I hope there's brilliance in there somewhere.

LO has showcased and in the interview together gave me the finger and denied it. Lied and when I said the truth, calmly denied it. Have you ever had that feeling during an initial interview? I felt like the neuropsychologist already was taking sides, she can put on such a good show.

Uuuggggghhhh

Yelp they are very good at that. Have her do the long Nero test. They can't fake their way through that. It takes 6hr or longer.

Fortunately, I have not, but I can absolutely see my DW doing something like that. She was wonderfully feisty, which of course, made caregiving a challenge.

If you haven't received the final neuropsych report, breath for a little while longer. The test with just her in the room will be a more complete story that the Dr. will see.

Can you sit behind and not participate or leave the room and speak with the doctor privately?

My husbands testing took most of the day and I was not invited to stay.

We live in Maine, next possible testing anywhere was next May. This was 2 hours of BS.

This is the fastest (6 months waited) testing arranged, 4.5 hours. No, 2 hours of tests after chatting for an hour in which I was present and she asked me questions that I had to respond in front of the denier. I know to wait but am not feeling good.
