Sad and depressed today friends

Hi friends,

Glad we have this support group here, as I feel I will continue to have

good and bad days, I mean really, with this LBD disease, it isn't a fun way

to be at the end of your days here on earth.

It seems when I go see Mom every day mostly, she talks real fast to me non

stop to get all the things she needs to tell me to make up for time we

aren't together to tell me of her " fantasies " that are REAL to her. I can't

even imagine being her age one day, and these scary, sexual, gross, nasty,

filthy people and thoughts would come into my mind!!! Who would of ever

thought this would of happened to her??? No one in my family has lived as long

as she has, and no one has had dementia of this kind or any kind. So all of

this throws me for a loop! Just when I think, " I can handle " her

hallucinations, well, I can't. I try so hard to be there for her at all times

when I

can, listen so intently, pretend to take it all in what she tells me, and

how can a human being listen to someone like this and not be FREAKED

OUT???!!!! I will not dare say the words that come out of her mouth, what is in

her head from this insane disease, it would freak ya'll out. I p rayed to

God all the way home to please please please ease these thoughts out of her

head and mind. I know with this LBD or any type of dementia, the reality of

it is, they don't get better. And can get worse as time goes on, medicine

or no medicine. She is still sweet as ever just looking at her, talking to

her, but her inside mind takes her over sometimes and it is not PRETTY!!!

Thanks for letting me vent this out ya'll. God in heaven we need friends

that are dealing with the same kind of things we are dealing with to relate

to us.

My main concern is for these hallucinations not to get so bad she really

freaks out and the staff will freak out.

Love and HUGS!
