Barb, 

 

Welcome and I hope you have went to Yahoo and checked the files and info that

is available there.  sends out a Welcome that will take you there or

you can go to the bottom of these email and it will usually let you go there.

 

It is a difficult disease and hard for anyone who is a caregiver to

deal with.  I had my Mom for 3 years and another year in the NH.  Hope you

find others you relate to here who can help too.

 

You can also go to Yahoo and do a " search " for any topic from all the past

messages.

 

Good luck.

Making Contact

 

Hi

My father has Lewy Body Dementia and has had a bad few weeks, so much so

that my mother who is 85, cannot cope anymore with looking after him and we

are having to make arrangements for him to go into fulltime care. I have

read up on the internet about this dementia, but find it hard to understand

how my father's condition is going to progress, such a lot of unknowns and

it is very scary.

I would welcome contact with others in the same position.

My father has it also. He can be fine for quite awhile and then have very bad

episodes sometimes brought on by medication and other times for no particular

reason. I moved my dad to a nursing home. He is unhappy. He has been pretty

stable there though. Better than I seemed to keep him at home.
