I just had the scare of my life!

8. Ah, my dear Marble ...

Not to worry! I've read some of your posts - your sometimes warped sense of humor will keep you sane for years to come. I know; because mine is as warped as yours and it has got me thru to 86. I can still read EKGs. Two months ago, my PCP wrote a glowing letter to present to the County Court as to my sanity. Yes, I can't get words that I want to use to pass thru the synapses from my brain to my tongue, I mispronounce words that I know very well. I put things away and forget where they are; but I can laugh about it - it is NOT me - it is my age. Laughter IS sometimes the best medicine.

I'm willing to betcha that your wife would never put you in the old sailor's home - she would say it was less trouble for her to keep you at home than to have to get up every morning, get dressed and go to spend the day with you, then get back home to sleep before repeating the next day!

It sounds as if you and she are a great, caring couple.
