Dad took Gedna to see a new neurologist yesterday. It didn't go well.
She was angry with Dad for tricking her into seeing a new doctor, and
rather fractious the whole time. A sample of the sort of conversation
the doctor had with Gedna goes like this:
DR: What's the date today?
G: The 18th.
DR: What month?
G: February.
DR: Do we have any holidays coming up?
G: Christmas.
DR: So what month is this?
G: ....?
The upshot is that Gedna has been diagnosed by a new doctor with severe
Alzheimer's. The doctor told Dad--but not Gedna--that she
shouldn't be driving or living on her own. Not a surprise, but Dad and
his brother D are actually going to have to do something about it now.
