Teary.  Don't feel like writing.  As always went to see Richard.  He was asleep, deeply asleep.  Didn't respond to touch, the bedside light or his name.  The nurse said he barely stayed awake while they bathed and shaved him, that he only had a few spoonfuls of breakfast.  Sleeping more during the day is part of LBD.  That and the hallucinations and loss of memory etc etc etc.  

Richard sleeps much more than he used to.  Dozes off while I am with him and am silent for more than a minute or two.  Often I arrive and he's asleep in his chair.  Yesterday he made a lonely figure parked in front of the oversize tv in the communal living room.  Rows of empty chairs around him.  The others were playing a word game in a different section.  Richard's dementia keeps him from socializing.  He can't be understood nor does he understand.  

I try not to think what we've lost.  But sometimes...I miss him so much.
