Did you know Robert had a girlfriend? Robert and Judy lived together for many years and helped each other with their appointments, seizures, medications and lived like any other couple. Even with Robert’s memory problems it is clear he loved her very much. Unfortunately, when Robert’s first Deep Brain Stimulator got infected (he was in a trial for it in 2008 through UCSF) we realized he could no longer live without 24/7 oversight. It was very difficult to separate the two of them but it was necessary.
Judy died a few years ago which saddened Robert when I told him at the time. He’s asked about her a few times since then but I don’t have the heart to remind him she died.
We keep this picture of them in his room so he is reminded of the girlfriend he once loved. ❤️
