I’ve had fascinating conversations with people with #LewyBody #dementia about how they accommodate hallucinations into their lives : for some a rule of thumb was to sense check: how logically likely is it that hovering outside this window is a mechanical beast…

I absolutely dislike thinking about myself as a widow, and more knowing myself as a single parent 💔

Often times, the mornings are the hardest. I should not be alone in the house. We were supposed to maybe go away for a clay residency. Or just hand out together. Go out for dinner, go hiking. Alzheimer’s sucks.
#lewybody #dementia #alzheimers
So far Alzheimer’s took away my partner and my daughter’s father. We’ve got a puppy and a matching tattoo. Not a fair trade.

I’m on my way to visit my daughter in college. It’s family weekend. C & I should be going together, that was the plan.
Alzheimer’s got in the way, I’m pissed and heartbroken about it. But life goes on.

I do read primary literature in my own specialty #Geriatrics, and less than a week ago there was found to be a significant direct link between #airpollution and #Dementia ( #LewyBody and #Parkinsons)
"I want you to get #dementia" is a hell of a winning message for Republicans
Choosing to move to an assisted living facility is the best horrible decision I’ve ever made.

My husband was formally diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in January 2022, and switch to Lewy Body in 2024.
He passed away on August 12, on the eve of my daughter’s departure to start her college journey.

I am a dementia survivor. I have many thoughts about it. I hope I find a Spence here to dump those thoughts and hopefully help someone who is going through what my family went through and how we are doing in the way to recovery.
