Misguided diagnosis, should have been Dementia with Lewy Bodies. 
Francis was given Alzheimer's medication and became very confused,
paranoid, agitated within three weeks.

Caregiving with Compassion
 

   An "eye opening" account for my family to absorb - so that if I should ever be in such a physical and mental condition as your Francis - my whole family will know just what to do for me! It effected me deeply and I shall be so ever grateful that you allowed me to read "IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU."
                                                                                                                          .....Richard Trask, Retired Minister
 
 

   This is a riveting account by a woman who embarked with eyes wide-open and heart wide-open on a personal journey with the man she loved into the world of Dementia and Alzheimer's. It is humorous, touching, instructive, and insightful–an excellent guide for others who might be facing or might have to face this challenge in the future.
