Welcome Jannis!

[Guest guest]

Welcome Jannis,

Glad you found us if you have to deal with LBD. We have a supportive group.

Glad you know what you are dealing with as I didn't get a DX when I had Mom. I

just had to figure it out myself.

I see has set you up with lots of links to look through in your spare

time.

Hugs,

Donna R

Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in

a nh.

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.

THANK YOU

I need to thank all of you who sent me supportive messages while I

was away from the group and also if I may explain a little of why I

left.I never left to be a bad guy or because I was mad.I love this

group and you guys have been my family for almost a year now.Ive

learned that a caregiver must take care of them self to take care of

their loved one right here on this group.Also learned of the best

meds for mom and learned what to look for, and most importantly, Ive

met some of the most wonderful people in the world.

I left because I didnt know if it would be a good idea to post

anymore when some here, (and im not blaming them) felt that I was

abusing my mom by keeping her home.Everyones situation is different

and we all have to play the hand were dealt in life.But only speaking

for my self, I cant put my mom in the hands of strangers.When I was a

baby she fed me when I could not eat.She clothed me and kept me

clean, and she protected me when I could not fend for myself.Im a man

now, and she needs help, I can not turn away or leave it to someone

else.I do everything I do out of love for my mother and its not easy,

but it would be much harder to stop than to keep on.

As far as her well being is concerned, I cant imagine how she could

benefit from strangers over people who love her with all of their

entire being.

I will be the first to admit Im not perfect, in fact Im probably the

furthest from perfect on this entire group.But I know no one could

love my mom and care for her more than I do.Just like you all love

your lo more than anyone else could.

This group of people is without question the most caring and

wonderful people Ive ever known, and Im honored to be back.Thank you

Ron
