Its been a while since ive been on talking point, i simply eaither dont get time or not sure quite what to say. its been a year now that dave went into the nursing home and in that twelve monthes daves mobility has almost gone now he gets very confused and Very distressed. he can no longer feed himself as he cant hold the spoon but still manages finger foods. his swallowing of fluids isnt very good and there is talk of thickening these. his shaking is very bad and he is very rigid, staff have problems getting his clothes on and off. unfortunatly they have norovirus and i havnt been able to visit dave for over a week now he was very poorly but they reasure me he has recovered from that, they will not let me visit even though ive pleaded but enviromental health have closed home.. on the last consaltants visit he said he already knows dave has front temporal dementia and cortical basal degeneration, but it seems we will never really no. he has all the symptoms of parkinsons too and consaltant is reluctant to give dave any medication to ease the rigidity and trremours, they are very violent at times, he says mentally he would decline ?? it is like watching dave die a slow horrible death as he still indicates too shoot him and mentally he still knows whats happening. dave can still use his left hand and still beats everyone at 4 in a row, its just about the only thing he can do now, i could go on and on but want to look around to see whats been happening, love too you all lynne xxx
