Lots of things are now GONE, gone for good.
It was so horrible, I will never get over it.
It has been 3-1/2 years since he died and I remember the name of the procedure done on an out patient basis. It is called "VENASEAL". They did one leg at a time.

After that, the strokes became more frequent along with the falls, that is part of it too.
In the end he was a frightened mess and I was no better not knowing what to do. I'd never heard of "vascular dementia" until it was part of my sad life and he was so confused ... it was a blessing when he died really.
