This blog started off as 'Alzheimers and me' then changed to 'Dementia and how I coped' when I learned about Lewy Body Dementia. The final title reflects the illness and its effect on patient and carer. It also recognises that the patient has a life that needs to be recognised and valued
My thoughts are with you. I have been reading your blog regularly and I thank you for your heartfelt and honest reflections. I would like the staff on my ward to read it, to remind them of Kitwood's legacy of the PERSON with dementia, not the person with DEMENTIA. xxx
