Welcome to Slammered, a blog about life with Lewy Body Dementia.

David Malone was 65 when his primary care physician tentatively diagnosed LBD in December, 2017.  A few months later, a neuropsych evaluation supported that diagnosis.

Why “slammered”?  David was driving to Minneapolis, he told me (years after he’d stopped driving), when he passed the site of an accident: “That car had been slammered.”

LBD slammered us, as it does so many.  According to the Lewy Body Dementia Association, LBD “affects more than a million people in the United States alone.” 

This blog recounts the progression of David’s illness from 2017 until
his death in 2022.  I hope readers will find it helpful.
