Dear All,
Hope you’re all hanging in there with your own dementia journey.
Well, in the last 2 weeks dads been in bed for a couple of days. On the surface of it , no problem, but he’s lost 2.7 kg last month. And while in bed been practicing the “ dead look”. He is really thin and pale. They thought he had another UTI, but fortunately not the case. Today, I’ve been in and he’s in bed again looking really ill. Not really talking much, or eating. Had a temp in the night. He had really bad shakes in his hands and legs, like Parkinsons. He’s also be scra his legs red raw and bleeding.
It’s this pendulum effect swinging from one thing to another. I‘m finding it so had to cope. I feel we are on the final stretch. Might be wrong, even though he’s been diagnosed with severe vascular dementia. I’m Sleeping really badly and majorly grumpy and bad tempered with hubby. He’s so patient,but…
Thanks for listening.
