Hi All
I have looked after my friend ,who has Lewy bodies, for 2 years and because it is up and down all the time i have never had respite as i have felt it would take so long to get him back on track it wasn't worth it. He has been very confused and very jealous of me of late and i feel he wouldn't really get any worse by going.
What do i tell him because he wouldn't understand that i need a break as there is nothing wrong with him!
Do you lie out right and hope he doesn't remember, i feel guilty as i know its going to upset him. I would be interested in anybodies ideas or methods they use.
grateful for any input
Doris
