You're right, Dennis. It's all going in the file for the new doc. He does
have a lack of energy, which may be depression or may be something more
serious like congestive heart failure. I have not been able to get him to
switch docs where he is -- he loves this guy -- so I am pinning all my hopes
on the new doc once he moves. I'm putting together some notes for the doc on
both of them and have already told both parents they should "expect" a
complete physical as a "routine" part of getting set up with a new doctor. I
plan to specifically ask the doctor to do the MMSE on them and the
clock-drawing test at least on mom. We still don't have an AD diagnosis (or
a rule-out diagnosis) because current doctor says there is nothing wrong
with her -- and I doubt he would diagnose depression either!

When she forgot something over the weekend, she threw up her hands in
disgust and said, "I need a keeper!" To which Dad replied, "I'm your keeper,
and once we move, she's (pointing to me) going to be keeper for both of us."
I fear he's being prophetic.
