I just came across your blog and I hope you don’t mind that I linked it to my blog…Lewy Body Dementia, Dad and me.

I have read back over some of your posts and your poor Mom is more advanced down the dementia spiral than my Dad. The spitting in church…oh dear and I was cheesed off when Dad spat in the kitchen sink.

It’s a hard road. I too feel anger and at times resentment that I can’t have MY life. And when he has woken me up throughout the night…well!! my teeth grind and I get a nervous twitch in one eye for a day or 2. I don’t know how elderly carers cope. Dad was such a respectful, gentle, jolly man and now he can say cruel, inappropiate things.

I send you and your family lots of best wishes amongst the mayhem.
