Gerry Joined: Sun Oct 21, 2007 4:18 pm Posts: 835 Location: Acton, MA	LBD awareness week I received an email tonight about LBD being recognized on two morning TV shows. Monday 11th, 7-9 on The early Show, CBS, will talk about Lewy Body Disease, and Awareness Week. On Tuesday 12th, 7-9 on the Today Show, NBC, Al Roker will be talking to families with LBD. These are eastern standard times, hope everyone is able to get this. Gerry _________________ Gerry 67, cared for Frank 71, married 49 yrs; dx 2004, passed away October 26, 2011.

I look forward to tomorrow's spot on NBC ! _________________ Some forum members may be intense in sharing what they have found to be useful/recommend certain resources.While meaning well, some comments may seem rather strong.

Maybe NBC will give it more time. _________________ Pat [67] married to Derek [83] for 37 years; husband dx PDD/LBD 2005, probably began 2002 or earlier; late stage and in a SNF as of January 2011.

These morning shows have more and more trash on them and it would be great if they'd replace some of that junk with something that is actually important. I'm hoping, but not holding my breath, that the Today Show will do more than the Early Show did. _________________ Lynn, daughter of 89 year old dad dx with possiblity of LBD, CBD, PSP, FTD, ALS, Vascular Dementia, AD, etc., died Nov. 30, 2010 after living in ALF for 18 months.
