This is dementia. It's not just a memory problem.
What you read in this blog is purely my own personal experience in dealing with Lewy Body Dementia every day.

I have no professional training in care giving or experiences in formal writing.
I'm just a woman that loves her husband deeply and wants to provide him with the best quality of life he can and chooses to have.
My prayer though this is "Lord, What am I learning from this; how can I use it help someone else and to glorify You?"
If just one person finds comfort in this public blog. I will feel like it was a success.

I want to ride my bicycle

OK so I know this is a double post for the day.
But I promise my apology for 2 in a day is probably longer than what I want to share.

Hubby had asked for a bike for weeks until I couldn't avoid any longer.
FedEx pulled up with his freedom box this evening.
I assembled it in the heat, sweat pouring off my nose.
Hubby sat on the stairs inside the house with the door open to watch.
After I got it assembled, aired the tires up and gave it the once over I proudly announced,"It's ready to ride".
Hubby's response, "I don't feel like it."
