I’m mostly sad and pissed off about all the opportunities that Alzheimer’s/ Lewy Body took away from my husband, my daughter, myself, and our family unit.

Often times, the mornings are the hardest. I should not be alone in the house. We were supposed to maybe go away for a clay residency. Or just hand out together. Go out for dinner, go hiking. Alzheimer’s sucks.

So far Alzheimer’s took away my partner and my daughter’s father. We’ve got a puppy and a matching tattoo. Not a fair trade.

I’m on my way to visit my daughter in college. It’s family weekend. C & I should be going together, that was the plan.
Alzheimer’s got in the way, I’m pissed and heartbroken about it. But life goes on.

I do read primary literature in my own specialty #Geriatrics, and less than a week ago there was found to be a significant direct link between #airpollution and #Dementia ( #LewyBody and #Parkinsons)

I am a dementia survivor. I have many thoughts about it. I hope I find a Spence here to dump those thoughts and hopefully help someone who is going through what my family went through and how we are doing in the way to recovery.

Fine-particulate air pollution can drive devastating forms of dementia by triggering the formation of toxic clumps of protein that destroy nerve cells as they spread through the brain, research suggests.
Exposure to the airborne particles causes proteins in the brain to misfold into the clumps, which are hallmarks of Lewy body dementia, the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer’s disease. Continue reading...

Researching #dementia and Best Interests Assessor/DoLS. #LewyBody dementia has robbed mum of her ability to coherently string thoughts and words together. She utters word salad - albeit convincingly. When asked “are you looked after” after a long pause she said “I supp…. maybe” and laughed.
