Thank you for the thoughs all <3
I'm pretty open about what is going on with me, not fishing for sympathy or woeisme, but because this is a difficult disease to deal with and if me being open about it helps someone else deal with it or helps a caregiver understand, or gives them someone to reach out to, then I've done my part.
LBD can be very embarrassing, you don't want people watching you twitch or drift off during conversations, or asking them the same question every 5 min because you don't remember the answer or even asking in the first place, etc. I know my condition is hard on all my kids but esp. my youngest daughter and her huband who moved in with me to help out after the Dr's suggested I shouldn't be living alone any more.
I had and have really a good life. I got to spend 32 years with a wonderful woman raised 3 kids, owned and sold a couple of small businesses, own my house and a couple of rental properties, and although not "rich" with the kids managing the properties they make some extra money and I have a steady income. We pretty much got to retire in our 40's and you can't beat that, even living in the middle of a corn field, lol. Maybe not "rich" but I'm as wealthy as a man could reasonably expect.
I could be a lot worse off all things considered, not the way Jeanette and I had it planned but like the song goes, It rarely turns out the way it does in the song.
But enough of that it's a new day in the garden! We got better things going on
