There is a difference between Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia - some Alzheimer's patients can have medication that helps their cognitive state where as Vascular Dementia patients have a death sentence. They progress backwards to the point where they can't look after themselves and revert to being like a baby. But unlike a newborn they lose the ability to swallow. Then the choice must be made as to provide a feeding tube or not.
Imprisonment in one's own rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it,
I wouldn't wish Vascular Dementia on my worst enemy. As the brain slowly dies, they change physically, become bedridden, can't eat or drink and eventually forget who their loved ones are.
There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has led a battle against Dementia, a cruel illness with no cure and no survivors 😥
Raise awareness for an hour.

Dear colleagues,

A very merry Christmas to all, and a happy New Year!

Many of you will be working over the festive period, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day to keep our patients and services safe. I wanted to write to you to give each of you a big and very sincere thank you on behalf of the LCG Board and myself, for your hard work and commitment to the care of our patients – not only during the holidays, but also throughout the entire year. Thank you so much for helping to make sure we can continue to provide high quality, safe services. We really do appreciate all that you do.
