Re: the two homes

One of the first things that I noticed 'not right' with Mom was that when I went

out somewhere I would always tell Mom where I was going. But if she fell asleep

when I was gone and then woke up she had no recollection of where I went. Then

she would call me up asking where I was and why I didn't have the decensy to let

her know that I was going.

I talked to my doctor about that and he said it is the short term memory gets

lost when they fall asleep. This was way before LBD diagnosis. But, then I

noticed that to be true...they lose something when they sleep...but in your case

maybe your FIL dreams are about being somewhere else or being in a different

'time'.

bill,

 

i never went thru this too bad with my daddy, as he was a homebody after he

retired in 1976 after 23 yearsi n teh military. 

 

but i did have to remind things to daddy when he work up arfter nepping.  he

forgot that we had plans for dinner,  or that someone was coming over, it was

like he erased all new data. 

 

we did however deal with time issues,  meaning he would be in different times

than we were in ,  lie i was 43 when we moved here to take care of him and he

would say, dont you remember it was just yesterday that i was changing your

diapers. etc.  so he had very little understanding of time.  and to him he

wanted to leave hours before it was time for a doctors appointment that only

took us 15 minutes to get there, because ehe didnt want to be late. and then

when we got there early he was mad that hte doctor didnt see him right away. 

 

i hope the info you are getting helps,  hugs from pensacola, florida  sharon

I am the daughter of Leonard whom was diagnosed in May 2004 and  he died of

complicatons *blood pressure started dropping and wouldn't recover* on Sept 25,

2005. He had bad case of Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde scenarios. He was showing

hallucinations and falling issues since prior to 1994. We moved in to take care

of him Jan 19, 2003 and still live in his house. And in feb 2009, i have been

diagonosed with 99% probability of lbd. Hoping that a cure or treatment will be

found before it's too late for me.
