You said this may be a blessing in disguise and it turns out maybe that is completely true. I have to say I have great admiration for everyone in this group. I don't deal with LBD on a daily basis like you all are. When you talk about medications that alone loses me as I have really no idea what they are. My dad has LBD but I think he is pretty lucky because he has my mom taking care of him and SHE DOES KNOW all the medications. A friend of mine died from cancer on Monday. She was diagnosed one year ago. She was 44. I was fortunate enough to visit her two days before she passed away and got to tell her I love her. We spent this last week celebrating her life. Today we attend her memorial service. I have been trying to catch up on my reading of all the LBD posts. What I see here mostly is the ability for a group of people that have never met each other coming together to offer support and hope. It does my heart good to know that despite death, or in this case impending death....you all strive to make life better or as good as it can be at this point. You lean on each other for support and there are always words of kindness or encouragment from these people. I hope that all of your families realize just how lucky they are to have you in them. One thing I have learned, or more appropriately come to realize this last year is that you can never say I love you to much...your dedication to your families and friends is apparent and even though sometimes it seems like such a hard journey and a lonely journey at times, It will always be worth it. Welcome to the group to all the new people. We may not be able to cure anything here, but you will always be able to find someone that cares.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi . I am sorry to hear about your friend. My husband's co-worker has just been diagnosed with bone cancer last week. He is on a leave of absences now. It is so sad to see. He is only 54 years old. I know there is a reason for things that occur in life, but I don't always understand it, or agree with it. I wish you the best with your Dad. Keep us posted and take care, Re: My Dad - progression > Group > I have noticed a progression with my dad.
