Re: Eye test could help detect Alzheimer's

[Guest guest]

I find this very interesting because I really believe one of the first

things we noticed with Ray was his " spatial " problems.

Continually moving to the wrong side of the road when driving, strange

walking patterns, many other things we noted that seem now to be related to

his vision. I suppose the leaning we saw later on might have been related. I

will certainly take this report to the eye doctor next time I go. Leona

Leona: Caregiver for husband Ray, age 68, diagnosed 2/04 with Parkinson's

Disease. Changed doctors, diagnosed 6/06 with LBD. Almost continual downhill

slide no matter what drugs we try. 5/2/08 Ray was placed in Sunrise Nursing

Home in Oswego, NY, 1 hour from home. So far, so good! Hardest thing I have

ever done in my life, however. 3/19/09 transferred to Samaritan Keep NH in

Watertown, NY closer to home. He passed peacefully at 5:18 am on April 14,

2009. I am handling it OK.
