Hi Star. Of course you may.... I have been (like most of us, I guess), getting even more forgetful than ever.... I would be proud if you shared it, and thank you. My forgetfulness is starting to cost me money, though...and I really have to try and not let that happen. I have lost 2 pair of glasses,( I think I left one pair on my dinner tray last hospital visit and it was swooped up while I slept, and now I have none.... I accidentally left my $5000.00 dentures in (i know it's tacky to mention money, but maybe someone else that is starting to have memory loss will gain from my mistakes and see how costly it can be.... ). The GOOD news is they were getting comfortable enough to fall asleep with them in. I guess they came out, or I took them out while sleeping, (only made three payments on a 60 month agreement)...and my good buddy Kirby the Wonder Dog tried to make some unorthodox

adjustments to them. It's not his fault, of course. I had to have another lower tooth pulled yesterday, and they have sent what is left of my dentures off to be repaired, if possible. and the beat goes on.... and the beat goes on...the drum keeps pounding rhythm to mistakes......la de da de dee.... So anyway, enjoying as challenge as much as the next guy, I now find it prudent to regroup, circle my wagon (s?) and plan new stratagies to overcome any objections from someone of the fairer sex. I think I can do this. Positive thoughts are really stepping stones to get you where you want to go. I mean, GOLLY..... who wouldn't want a guy that is disabled, doesn't have a job, no longer drives, or even has a car anymore, is basically blind to anything 15' or farther away, has to eat a sodium free and low protien diet,

(forget restarants), can't afford to go out anyway, owes beacoup bills, can't remember what he's talking about in mid sentence, sleeps strange hours, has a CPAP to breath with at night, takes pills that inhibit his interest in sex, has two terminal (possibly) diseases, is infectious, weak, out of shape, goes to the ER regularly for 7 to 14 days at a time, and at any time will say... I have to sit down...take me home, or... get naucious OR even have a Lactulose attack in public? I think it's time to put that "want, or desire", somewhere out of the way to collect dust, and be found later by someone that likes old stuuf that can vwe brought back to new, with a little work. This too....shall pass................ To everything there is a season.... Believe it or not...I'm not whining...just listing the'pesky' little problems that come

with this disease......... and realizing that when me and God overcome all this crap, we can look back at where we've been, and I will truly have an understanding of how powerful the power of positive thinking is.....and know I can get through anything..... and face negativity straight on, and attitude kinda' like the guy in some Mafia movie when the guy says..." What....You tawkin' to me"? attitude! Now THAT was a long sentence!! Sorry I yap so much... God Bless all of us.

An answer would be appreciated. Star1956 __________________________________________________
