Hi Heather,
My Husband was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia this January aged 68, at the moment he is fine but with the amount of reading I have done and the posts on here I realise the future could be hard for both of us. His heart health is very bad and both his Doctor and the Mental Health team think that will end it before Vascular Dementia does. Luckily my Husband is a very upbeat sort of person and doesn't worry too much and lives a day at the time, but it is constantly on my mind.
My thoughts are with both of you and all the other carers and sufferers on this forum
