MADISON, AL.
OK friends, I will write when I can but there is no way I can keep a blog flowing anymore. I definitely will give it my best, which will be not much. Here are the statistics. Dementia is a terminal disease that has been broken into seven stages. I am entering stage 4 where it starts to become a controlling factor in everything of your life in bad ways. So what can you expect? Sometime I likely will not make much sense. But then a minute later I can be lucid and know what I am talking about. So far controlling what I say at any given moment is anybody's guess as to what I might say. Please be patient with this mess and try to learn about dementia from what happens in my next couple of years. Check the internet for well explained information on what happens in the stages leading to death. If I recall correctly something around 40% of the world gets some form of dementia before they die. Not if but when I fail to make sense please just leave a comment and I will attempt to get it right and published.
Good to hear that you will try to stay in touch with all your readers. Take care and Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much
DeleteThanks, Barney, glad to have you back on (the) board. Don't worry about little glitches from time to time, we'll all not just get through it, but we'll also learn from it. I've admired your courage in facing the disease head on and not quitting. My wife's similar situation is teaching me that while it can sometimes be frustrating for me, I'm sure it is even more frustrating for her. But dementia is a disease like any other and she, and you, will fight your way through it just like you have other hick-ups in life. When you quit, you let the disease win.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice commentary.
DeleteNow this sounds like the Barney (fighter) I know. Welcome back, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Betty. Folks Betty R. was my coloring student for a few weeks until she zoomed ahead with her coloring abilities. Now she is well into her own great works of art. Maybe she will start her own blog and show off all the good pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo far, you've been making sense...a lot of sense. So just post when you want. Hope you have mostly pleasant days!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Most of the days so far have been nice and pleasant . Most of dementia so far have not had any serious pain in them.
