length of this LBD disease

[Guest guest]

Anyone ,how long does this disease run its course? is it different for a 59

year old vs. a 79 year old? i have read 2-7, 3-8, 5-8, 2-20 ( not helpful).

asked the primary the other day. he doesn't seem to have a clue. financially,

it makes a difference because too soon in a NH and you are out

70-$100,000/year. can you spell B-A-N-K-R-U-P-T ? if you know for sure 2 more

years, you can plan better for either home care, 24-7, some combo of home care

or a facility. and a dr. has to approve hospice so it matters what he thinks,

etc. does Medicare pay for home care? all i know is i am wearing out after 2

+ years ( with care aide for 8 hrs /week). I may be a wreck in two more years of

this. thanks, gary
