I have a husband diagnosed 6 year ago with vascular dementia. Now I have had to get a pacemaker 2 weeks ago. Yes this is a difficult time for sure. I wish there was a place where I could bring him like an adult day care. I could get a break and some rest and I think he would benefit from other company. Unlike someone with alzheimer's who forgets the things they have left behind with vascular dementia they still retain their memory of the things they once enjoyed and cannot do, such as driving, fishing, and the camp they love to go to.
