Breaks my heart to hear it. Sincerely. I was just getting ready to post an update for me mom in this forum and came across this. So far, at 50, I’ve dealt with needing reading glasses with my contacts, and 50 pounds since I was 40. My mom has Lewy Body Dementia and I just got word that my dad has Alzheimer’s.
Mom has been staying with me for the last year and I have watched her cognitive decline for at least two. It’s fucking horrible! And that’s not meant to scare you or freak you out. Lewy is far more rapid and debilitating than what I know of what you are dealing with. I’m just saying that ANY cognitive decline is horrible. It’s a heavy cross to bear.
Breaks my heart to know you’re dealing with this. But, you have a chance (if YOU want) to clear the slate. Reach out to friends you haven’t spoken to in years and let them know what they meant to you. Ex girlfriends, estranged family, etc. Most importantly, spend as much time with those closest to you as possible.
I sincerely wish you the best with the fight you have in front of you and I’m available if you want someone to lean on. Just PM me. All my love brother…
P.s. I’ve been doing some drinking this evening and may regret some of my words tomorrow? Just know that my intentions are in the right place and I am upset to hear about this affliction. Know I’m here if you need someone to lean on, yeah?
