Hi Jan,

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry for your husband's LBD diagnosis, that's a tough one. My friend's mother had LBD and I remember how difficult it was for her and her family. ...I think I need to work on my responses to my husband's repetitive questions. I'm patient enough but it wears thin after the 5th or 10th time he asks me the same thing. I do know it's going to be a long journey ahead and we are already almost 11 years in. Thank you again.
Jean

I’ve come to understand, he really doesn’t remember. So just answer briefly as if it were the first time. Sometimes I make a little jingle out of my answer🤣.
Him: Where are we going?
Me: 🎶We’re going 🎶to the soccer field, the soccer field, the soccer field, to watch our sweet girl play🎶. It answers his question and helps me vent a little.
