Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson Disease Journe

-


Tonight I almost have a fear to even post. Been a crazy emotional week. But hubby has been sick now for about 4 days. His leg, ankle and foot is swollen so he hobbles around the house. I am sure it is bakers knot again which they told us just to give Ibuprofen for the pain. But I am going to talk with the kids tomorrow and maybe take him to the walk in clinic to make sure we are doing what we can. So this post is for prayer. He is suffering with this and I know the diseases do strange things, but I need to know for sure. He is back to screaming and jumping in bed and hearing strange sounds he was screaming i am sliding stop stop..I was sound asleep and flew out of bed thinking i was having a heart attack. If you are tired of hearing about our journey that is ok....it's our journey and we are the ones walking in it. All we need is prayer thank you so much...appreciate all of you...and for those who have been asking ..yes I am on the mend...slowly getting my strength back...God bless...

Our Lewy Body dementia and parkinson disease journey #22 house

 We are on this journey and it seems to be a whole lot involved with it.  Decisions that a person must stop and face.  One is on my mind today and that is ......our home.  When we purchased this home 21 years ago we were thinking about living in it for about 5-8 years and then selling.  But it became home.  So we have stayed.   Now, that we are dealing this these diseases it's time to take another look at our home.  It is two levels, so stairs....and it also has a drop down extra living room with 3 steps down and on the other side a two step up to kitchen.  Now with hubby starting to have walking and standing issues...and dizzy problems.  Time to rethink.. Of course I think it's no problem for me...I got this but the laundry room is in the basement with two more bedrooms, family room and pantry.  So I go up and down these stairs all day long.  And I am getting older so decisions. Do we sell?.....do we stay put until things...

Removing and replacing our old pathway

-

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....

Our journey with Lewy Body dementia and parkinson disease #1 beginning

 Late in the year of 2023 my hubby started loosing a lot of weight for no reason just not hungry.  Once in a while he complained that his stomach was hurting.  So we scheduled doctor appointments ....doctors checked him out, ran blood work, scans, MRI's, etc....and every test came back nothing was wrong.  He was fine.  So we would leave and I would notice things...something just wasn't right.  Also, son kept noticing that his Dad's hand would shake sometimes....then his eye began to twitch....so I took him to the eye doctor and he was fine.  Again more MRI's and nothing wrong.  The eye kept twitching and the hand kept shaking. Our primary doctor said "Well, we can send him through a bunch of tests, but the out come will be the same".  Nothing we can do.  I wanted answers. So, a few months later in about November hubby almost collapsed at Walmart while walking.  He was sick.  I brought him home and he went into the bathroom and ...
