Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hello Ladies! I too keep everyone in this group in my thoughts and prayers though I may go MIA every once in a while. I owe a lot to this group and will be forever grateful. You guys kept me sane and showed me more love than my own family. Not to mention all the knowledge I learned from all you wonderful people! Things have been a little better, though I still and will ALWAYS miss my daddy. There are days that are better than others although sometimes I go through a tear-fest. I am at peace that I fought for him and did everything I could possibly do to help him, just as you all courageous people have done or are still doing. My daddy is no longer in any pain and is the whole, handsome, strong person that he once was and I take comfort in that. I just wanted to say hello to you ladies and everyone in this group. I love you all. Hugs and many blessings, from NYC Daughter of Celestino (Tino) Suarez Misdiagnosed for years. Diagnosed with LBD March 2009, but we now know he's had it for at least 4-5 years.

The hard part of this disease is that it takes some time to be diagnosed correctly, and due to that, my Mom was given meds that she reacted negatively to. She went into the hospital as one person and came out with very marked decline. I never put her in a skilled nursing facility, and I did my best to take care of her until I went out of the room about 5 minutes and when I came back she had passed away. I know that she had bad meds, but that was because the doctor that was treating her in the hospital was not aware of LBD, and by the time that I knew these meds were bad, they had already wreaked havoc. I am not angry at anyone including me, because the knowledge of LBD was not widespread...but I try in all my contacts with people to talk about LBD. A couple weeks ago I gave the website info to a man and he called me a couple hours later telling me that he is pretty sure that a person he knows has LBD...we might have saved one from getting the wrong treatment. I used to feel bad that I didn't know, and because I may have put some stress in her life, but when I learned about LBD, I knew that I did the best that I could with the absence of knowing about LBD. YOu know, there are always the 'wish I did this' 'wish I didn't do that' and it is useless because we cannot go back and have to realize with what we had to work with, we did the very best that we could, and our parents, spouses, siblings do know that is what we did and are eternally grateful for our love and caring. > > Hello Ladies!
