Old enough to know better
|
The only thing I can say here Steve is I hear you. Don't know if that helps. I think we are about the same age. Currently waiting for two different minor surgeries, one is for a very painful hernia, I have arthritis in my back which makes my moblity limited and I am pretty much deaf in one ear. Great ain't it.
On the other hand it could be worse. I'll take the mind over the body anyday if I have to choose. We have friends who live across the street from us. The lady was diagnoised with dementia a few years ago. She is happy but no longer has any idea who we or anybody else is. We've known her for 14 years. She is the same age as me. Her husband Mike has told me that he would be ok if the Lord was to take her. That is tough to hear. He is going through hell. All the best Steve. Hope things work out.

As for your neighbor U crank I have often wondered if this old age mental problem has anything to do with aluminum? That particular metal is in the foil that surrounds our food and when placed in a cold refrigerator can cause a reaction when heated again. More studies need to be done, but I think it could be a link.

Spent a night at the VA Hospital. Routine procedure, but since I didn't have a ride home they had me stay overnight until the drugs wore off. Still, I spent all day yesterday just lazing around until dinner with a friend.

I'm afraid I can't say much until family have been informed by the parents but I do intend creating a thread including all the relevant info as well as the picture I currently have on my iPhone.
Parents and newborn are currently enroute home from hospital

I've always loved these... Moira brought some back for me from the May Fair in town at the beginning of the month. Are these purely a traditional English confection, or can you get them in the US, Oz or Europe?
