Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Sally its so great to have you back. Can't wait to here more about SA. Courage Back home!!! >Hi there friends! >Happy New Year to everyone - old timers like me and new members too! I say 'happy' new year but in my heart I know that with LBD there is nothing 'happy' at all!!! >So I rephrase that ..... I wish you all (each and every one) >love, comfort and support as some of us mourn the loss of our darling loved ones, and others battle on against this hideous monster. >Our trip to South Africa was phenomenal!!! It was truly the trip of a lifetime. My head is still 'buzzing' with all the sights, sounds and smells of the place! There is SO much to tell you .... but I need to process my thoughts first! I'll need to reflect and assimilate before I bore you with all the detail!!! >On return yesterday there was a letter waiting from the >Brain Bank with the final results of the autopsy on my dad's brain. So I have the indisputable diagnosis. >My dad died of 'Dementia with Lewy Bodies' and nothing else. No Alzheimer's. No Parkinson's. The report says - and I quote - 'PURE' Lewy Body Dementia. His brain was riddled with it. He never stood a chance. All that fiddling and experimenting with the drugs was a waste of time. It might have even been detrimental I wonder? So - I know for sure and feel I have an answer at last. >I have been invited to London to meet with the clinicians to ask any questions I might have. I shall go. I have PLENTY to ask!!! I shall also arm myself with all the info about this group. You might like me to ask questions on your behalf? Think about it and let me know - there's no rush. >It is MIGHTY strange to be back in the cold, grey, wet winter after the fabulous sunshine and heat of SA. >I'm off to refill my hot water bottle!!!! >Hugs to each >I've missed you guys .... I'm glad to be back on line. >Sally xx > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
