In LBD, the brain’s visual processing systems which receive sensory information, and the recognition system, which interprets that information, are both affected. This can lead to misinterpretation of what is seen, heard or even felt.
Yesterday morning, after I took an early work call upstairs, Matt came up and asked if they were taking him away today
”They” are the cops; “away” is jail
This is a recurring theme
I often wonder if this particular delusion is triggered by work calls, there is some consistency
So I thought I would get clinical, look up things on the web (checking the authenticity of the source of course)
The quote above is one I found
It seems that when I am having a perfectly legit business call, his brain may actually be telling him something else is going on
The words I actually say isn’t what makes it thru to his understanding
Somewhere in the middle between his ears and brain, there is a game of telephone tag going on
So I started the first whisper……then I get to be told the last one
Maybe if I think of it as the child’s game of telephone then I can find humor in this
Worth a shot!
