Living out loud with Lewy Body Dementia

a very personal journey. Matt, CJ and Sheba….

This started spontaneously, part therapy, part keeping our peeps informed. I am finding my voice, evolving in this. The perspective is very much from my, CJ’s, perspective; the caregiving wife.

A Shave

Brad gave Matt an electric razor this summer

This was such kind, thoughtful gift, as Matt was knicking himself up pretty bad with razors

For the last few months he’d pick up the razor and walk around the house shaving randomly during the day

After several months now he is showing a bunch of dry patches on his face

Plus, he has certain places he tends to miss

I try to help him, the best I can, but he used to keep himself up so well, this is a change for sure

So today we went to a local barber

He got the full treatment

Hot towel, close shave, hair cut, the works

He enjoyed it!

So amazing to have a little victory!

We are going to build this into the routine going forward

Just thinking about this, about him getting this professional grooming, makes me feel so happy

He used to take Walter to a frequent shave

I couldn’t help be see how he has become a remarkable reflection of Walter…..the resemblance is clear
