Merry Christmas to everyone! What I'm hoping for is to regain my zest for life that I had after I came out of my vascular dementia. My vascular dementia, to me, was like I was in a coma. I don't remember anything about that period of time. I was told that I was corresponding to people, so I can't say I was actually in a coma. But I knew when I came back into reality. At first I was startled when I found out it was about two weeks later than what I could remember. However, I was HAPPY to be back into REALITY! I had a new zest for my life. One of the first times I got out of bed at the post acute rehab hospital I tried to walk by myself. I was trying to walk to the dresser where my clothes were being kept. Well, I didn't make it......and fell flat on my ass. It felt soOOOO GOOD to me to actually feel the pain, that I actually just sat there laughing at myself waiting for assistance!
