I heard back from Dr. Morgan, he is the one that did the neurological assessment testing a few weeks ago. I won’t see my neurologist until the middle of July so I asked him to call me when the results of the test were in so I could see how I did and would have to wait so long until my next appointment. Well, good news!! He said that my test scores compared with other people in my age group were not much different. He said that I have some mild memory loss, but nothing that he would be concerned about. He told me that after speaking with me and then going through the tests he can see that I have came up with some great coping skills to help me with my day to day life. He encouraged me that I have a very busy life and some of this could be due to that.
I asked him about that MMI test, just because some of the questions were a little odd. He said that came back normal as well. He said that was testing to see if I had any other underlying issues going on like depression or any other mental concerns. That is one thing that could factor into my memory loss. He assured me that everything looked great and that if I had any other questions come up in the meantime I could address those with my neurologist at my appointment in July.
A part of me is wondering if this is all in my head then. How could it be though when my husband agrees that my memory is not what it used to be? Maybe I don’t need all the answers though. I am doing a great job at work, my family is healthy and happy so I think I just need to live life and roll with the punches that come along the way.
I have a few lingering questions for my neurologist that I will ask him at my next appointment, but I will put those on paper so I don’t forget and move on from this. I have my post-it’s handy and my husband doesn’t mind hearing the same stories from me over and over.
