My husband refuses to go out he is in the early stages of Lewy body so therefore I feel trapped in my own home and just want my husband back where we can spend time out doors.
His diagnosis will cause confusion and fear, he is not looking at the out doors the same way he use to. He looks at the inside of your home as his safe place. This may or may not change as the diagnosis progresses. One thing for certain is you need to take care of yourself as well as him. Try getting a family member, friend of the family or a Non-Medical Home Health Care company to sit with him while you run errands or just do gardening in your back yard. Give yourself a break from the disease.
That's too bad. I love to go out and take a ride with my husband. I hope that doesn't stop as I progress.
Start. By sitting outside. Holding. Hands on the porch. Or. Yard. Then. The. Next day. Just walk around your. Yard planting. Flowers or start a. Veggie garenda. Then. The next day. Sit on your car. With the door. Open. See. How this works and then you can decide what to do. Next. Like a short. Drive. I hope this might. Help
It is awful isn't it. well I don't know what sort of day I am going to wake up to each day or what type of mood he will be in it is very difficult and soul destroying.
Yes. Christie. Is. Right. Take time. Out. For your self. He can even sit in the door way. While. You. Attend the flower. Take care. My j getting close to that. Every time. We go out. He. Think of a reason to go home.
