Vascular dementia is not quite the same as Alzheimer's. Dave has similar symptoms such as being agitated, having hallucinations and loss of memory. Thank goodness he still remembers his family. Dave can not stand . He is in rehab where they force him to take a few steps while holding him up. I ask if the therapists have seen this before and they say yes. Will he improve? That remains in the unknown. Then there is the sleeping. Dave does not want to open his eyes. He walks those few steps with his eyes closed. He eats with his eyes closed. This behavior upsets me greatly but I must help him if I want any therapy done at all.
Reading comments from others on the internet makes me take note. Someone said they have never seen dementia causing the inability to walk. Is there another infection in play?
