My Punkin could no longer feed herself, which was ok cuz I was feeding her for the most part anyway. Her cognitive declined required several medications. She became incontinent, which I was also able to clean her up. However, her confusion and resistance to me helping her (primarily because she couldn't figure out why I was helping her, or who I was) made things difficult. The combination of my wife's inability to remember, reason, and function became too much for me to care for appropriately. As I am writing this post, I am with her at the nursing home getting ready for breakfast. She can no longer walk without two assistants helping her, and still can only walk about 30ft with difficulty. It won't be much longer and she will no longer be ambulatory. Lewy Body Dementia is so progressive that it seems like a whirlwind sometimes. I'm just thankful that she is happy when I see her. She may not know the nature of our relationship, but she still has a strong love for me. It is so wonderful. I thank God daily.
