Diversification

People tend to lump all Alzheimer's sufferers together but the disease can take many forms.  In our case it is dementia with Lewey bodies. That means he sees things that aren't really there but they are definitely real to him. The gang of boys by the mailbox, the kids playing in the pool ( which is closed for the winter ) and the people having a picnic across the road. The neurologist told me of a woman who cooked a complete dinner for eight people that only she could see. Thank God he's not a chef.
