Hi,
My name is Joe. I am 80 years old. I had open heart surgery back in 2011 and have recently been diagnoses with Lewey body dementia associated with Parkinson symptoms that go with that diagnosis. Due to my last diagnosis, I have serious balance issues and have progressing dementia. I am glad to be on this support group and looking forward to sharing my issues with you and hearing your issues that concern you as well.
