Gary is 70, officially diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in September, 2012, though in retrospect, we now know symptoms first started rearing their ugly head as far back as 2003. The severe symptoms started revealing themselves in Nov/Dec 2011, starting with sleeping problems--the kind that can't be explained...getting up in the middle of the night and not being able to figure out how to lay back down on the mattress. I'd wake up in the middle of the night with Gary sleeping across my body, head or feet at a right angle to me with either laying across my legs, or to him climbing out of bed over top of me. Bizarre, like in a bad dream that neither one of us could make sense of the next morning.
