It is all hard to understand 😭…call the Alzheimer’s association for any help or a better understanding…there are far too many docs that don’t understand as well…read books and peraratticals

My husband Rip.💖 in 2014,was diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus vascular dementia, he had a stroke, in 2012, not treated properly 😕he was diabetic, overweight, heart disease too. He was diagnosed at age 67,died at age 70 2/8/18, in Hospice care, January 29th, he had a silent heart attack, no pain at all,100% blockage replaced his stent on the left side of the chest, he already had 3 stents in 2008. He was in an out of nursing homes 5.and in rehabilitation 2017, because he got a flesh eating bacterial infection wound in groin left side, had to have emergency surgery, too ,2 days in a row. To make sure it was all out. How he got it i don't know. But he would get agitated, violent too. Paranoid, we were married 51 years. Together 54years, at times he would ask for a divorce 😢 we were high school sweethearts since age of 16. He had short term memory loss 😕 not one dr.told me what to expect 😠 on his behaviors, or violence, he hated evening, ,Sundowning it was called. Iam so mad that i wasn't told what to expect 😠. He refused drs office visits ,only had weekly nurse. Once a month home physician. Refused all meds in the end and insulin too. He lodt faith in the drs. Since nursing homes. Why does this happen? Please I need answers. I hope he still loved me😢. Was it normal to act that way, from vascular dementia?

my father had alzheimers but was not obese at all he only weighed 7st 4lbs hardly a heavyweight so that discounts that theory
