Max’s story part 6
Hi everyone today I had a visit with Max today , he was pretty good and we sort of headed straight into the beginning to the big lounge as I had in my hand a cd that my friend Leigh Moran gave me to give to him , with a modern day recording of her performance of the old song there’s a part of my heart ❤️ in Wonthaggi.
So we hit the chairs and I put the cd on and pressed play but I for some reason thought it was playing the wrong disk and I got my glasses and started it again , it was the correct disk so we listened to it louder a few times and I sung a bit that I knew and we then played other music I sat back down and facebooked a bit and stretched out my muscles like a judo warm up and stepped though some kata exercises.
Then Max wanted to talk to me about his condition and asked me what caused it ?
I got on google and searched up each disorder he had and the results were that there is no real known cause for both Parkinsons disease and Lewy body dementia.
So I explained that to Max and then he wanted to talk about his delusions, So I quizzed him about what it was like from his side and if he were aware of them happening at all,
I asked him if he knew what was at the time they occurred .
He said yes and I thought ok and he had a small one so I asked him if he remembered it he said yes ,
Ok not long afterwards he had a more intense one .
I asked him about it when it had ceased ,
but he had no recollection of it ,
He then asked my why he had to get these afflictions,
I was totally honest with him and I laid out the facts of life for him and the cards we are each dealt , and that he needs to enjoy every precious moment that he has left with his family while he still can .
When I knocked off ,
we had a few beers and chatted some more for the next hour and a half .
So I next catch up with Max on Christmas Eve ,
I look forward to it .
Cheers
