My brother in law was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia at the same time as I was diagnosed with incurable but treatable metastatic cancer. It was estimated that he would need full time residential care within 4 years. My prognosis after gamma knife surgery to a brain & skull tumour was 6-18 months, possibly 2 years.
That was a year ago. My BIL died last May aged 70. He went from an emergency admission to hospital into respite care & then full time care in the first 3 months of last year, & by that time we were in lockdown. Difficult times.
I signed up for the Memory Walk before I needed a wheelchair, so wasn’t sure if it would count, but it is a workout, I was knackered after the first leg yesterday. No doubt it’ll get easier, looking forward to the next bit already. I’ll post photos & updates here so I don’t highjack another thread xx
Have decided to keep going until wed 31st March & then close the donation page & stop walking for charity. We’re now £3000 over our initial target, the donations are flooding in from my clients over
he years. It’s been an emotional day reading the lovely comments, and of course lots of them are either living with a dementia sufferer or know someone.. So, 13 more miles in the next 4 days, an ultra marathon xx
It it took us about a nanosecond to work out that Sula’s motivation was food 
I made the comment about her being a tart like her mum & her mum being a dog on FB and it flagged up a warning about breaching their bullying guidelines, sigh. xx
