After two years of being told hubby had mild cognitive impairment etc and asking for further testing and being so concerned about him and his general health, he was finally diagnosed last week with Lewys Body Dementia.
He seems to be taking it ok at the moment although I don't really think he understands the full implications of it. I feel sad and relieved if that is an odd combination. So sad he has it and I worry about the future but relieved we will now have access to support and help.
He is to see a consultant in September and then will get access to the Dementia Advisor. Obviously so much to take in and learn and at the moment we are taking things day by day.
You have all been so supportive over the last couple of years as we have struggled to get a diagnosis so I thought I would tell you where we are now. Thanks again for listening and being here and hopefully I will post more frequently now and get up to speed with everything.
Best wishes.
