Dad's Visit with Dr. Reifler
Dr. Reifler came by today to see Dad, accompanied by a reporter from Raleigh News & Observer. The doctor had gotten a promotion and so the paper wanted to do a story on his visits with patients. So he asked if he could visit with Dad.
I came by to greet the doctor and nurse educator. He asked a few questions about Dad and the navy. Dad said he had mostly served on cruisers. How they had 18"? guns. The doctor asked about the difference between cruisers, ? and destroyers in terms of sizes. Dad explained this easily. However when the doctor asked how many sailors there was on a cruiser Dad started wringing his hands a bit, but finally said 3500 men (I don't ever recall him saying this--it is probably something hard to remember!).
Then I went to the back room with the nurse educator and she talked with me and Ilene about communicating with Alzheimers patients. She left a couple of booklets to look at. She also said she might mail some activity sheets as well.
Dad continued to talk with Doctor in private for a few minutes.
The educator said they might start Dad on anti-depressant but want to wait and see if Karen the PA could come out and do an evaluation as well before they prescribed one (She came out a month ago as well). They had increased his Namenda last week to 2x a day. He seems slightly better---not sure why, just a gut feeling.
Dad flattered me by saying "I know everything", I said "I love hanging out with this guy!"
When they were leaving the reporter said he would send a copy of the article when it comes out.
