    • About Me

      I have the best husband that you could ask for, three wonderful children and several grandchildren. So I am blessed! I enjoy reading (suspense), jogging, hiking, photography, and spending time with my family. I moved to NC from Orlando Fl. God is most important in my life, then my family and friends. My dad has dementia and is living at a memory care center. He has good days and bad days. I haven't heard or seen from my mother in several years - that is another story.

      From Pounder August 2

      Welcome! My situation for my Father is so similar to yours...bless you for watching over him. It is quite a roller coaster of good and bad days. But you're not alone and anytime you need to talk...just come and vent away! Big hugs...

    • Close Dementia

      My dad was diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Disease two years ago. A few months ago he had to be placed in an Memory Care Center. (Before that he lived with me) This has been really hard for me and my family. He is quite confused, has halucinations, thinks people are out to get him, etc. Sometimes he makes us feel guilty for placing him at the Memory Care Center. He says things like "Why are you doing this to me?"

      Treatments

      Aricept Working / Worked
      This has helped with the confusion.
      Exelon Not Working
      This did not work well with my dad. I think it helped with the halucinations but the confusion grew worst.
    • Close Varicose Veins

      My husband has varicose veins. We are looking for what treatment others have tried, what works, what doesn't etc.
