She stops driving as she says the scenery goes by too rapidly even at city driving speeds and confuses her. I am worried that she has Alzheimer’s and persuade her to not only change doctors but to see my doctor. Dr. Sahi sees her and asks her to count from 100 to 0 by 7s. She repeated 100 several times and said she could not think of the next number. He refers her to a neurologist, Dr. Erlich. On these trips around town, I notice that she has difficulty fastening her seatbelt.
