Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I MUST respond to this. I already love you , for your happy positive outlook, and for the guilt you did not deserve, but we all know too well. You are a sweetheart, and I am so happy for you that your mother displayed a good day for you. It must be totally wonderful as you express. You did the right thing in caring for your mother, as you can certainly see from how well she is doing. No more guilt dear lady.

Because it gives me hope. And it makes me feel so much better than all the guilt I've had. Guilt over the fact that we put her in that hospital back in October in the first place. I know it's what they call 'false guilt' but all guilt hurts nonetheless - and this is a MUCH BETTER FEELING. :) > > , > > It was so good to read your email.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 , I had Mom on next to no drugs and she did fine. While the nh wasn't happy at first, they soon learned she was not much of a problem without them. Donna R Do you want to read more about Lewy Body? You can also read the Thistle, the LBD Newsletter.
