Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson Disease journey

  Not much to report....just the usual. Night acting out dreams. Day very confused. Very confused. His feelings get hurt real easy over silly things. He gets angry and cries. I went outside and told him to set on the patio while I went into the shed to get something to sell. I came out he was gone. He had got into a panic and started around the house looking for me...I couldn't find him so I go around the house looking for him...so around and around we go not seeing each other. Finally, I see him through the living room window on the opposite side of the house. He was in a major panic that I was gone. I am becoming more and more his nurse. Waiting on him and supplying him everything. He never gets hungry but will eat if I put it before him. So, I have to remind myself to fix him lunch. I don't eat lunch so it's easy to forget. No conversations. He hates his earring aid that I got to work again. Just life..grandkids all help out so much. Even the 5-year-old helps....

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 ...
