Cognitive tests - any experience with these? [View all]

I have requested that my PCP schedule me for a cognitive test (is this what they are called?), preferably at my upcoming appt on July 17th. Haven't heard back yet.

I have been experiencing a big loss of items; Kindle, box cutter, headlamp, 2 bags of hard candy, and more. I have kiddingly told my kids I have a poltergeist. My DIL and I have looked EVERYWHERE. Long story short, I woke up this morning with a BIG lamp that lives on my nightstand, laying on the floor beside my bed. Nothing broken, shade not dented. A glass of water and a glass of orange juice were still standing undisturbed.

Folks, I was a director for an assisted living residence in Atlanta for a little over a year. I am familiar with dementia and how it can affect individuals. I think I might be the poltergeist. If I'm being honest, what else could it be? Well, I'm not looking for that answer from you, but I am hoping some of you have some insight and/or experience regarding these "cognitive tests."

Look forward to the DU wisdom.
