We went to the Dr. this morning. After talking with him the Dr. and I are both convinced we are dealing with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (they call it DLB for short). He asked Cowboy if he "saw things" and he said yes. Then he asked him if it frightened him and he said no. That confirms the halucination issue.
I found an article on DLB that also said sometimes they have double vision. I had not thought about it but in September when he got new glasses he complained of seeing double. We went back to the opthamologist and they adjusted his prescription a bit but he continued to complain and then he stopped.
We will be seeing the Dr. every six weeks from now on to monitor his progress. I told him my research did not turn up a time frame for DLB and he said probably 4 years. We talked about getting some help later and nursing homes, etc.
I am going to try to get him to the gym in the morning to work on the machines suggested by the physical therapist.
