Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Well, we went to the geriatric specialist yesterday (she is at the care center they just opened up) and she did the test where you write and draw and all that (???) and out of, I think 36 questions MIL got 15 correct. said she almost cried ( SIL, not MIL) when she saw her mom could not draw a house they showed her and did a stick figure like a three year old would. The dr. concurred with the internist and said MIL is in stage six AD....basically told that it was going to require a lot of patience cause it was only going to get worse. We believe she started this about five years ago, although she has been depressed most of her life and manic too. Dr. says life expectancy is 8-10 years (I read 15 somewhere).
