Interesting story on dementia/alcoholism and other confusing BS. Brother was a hard core drunk/smoker (died today) and lived in the woods for 40+years, in a bread van outside of Anchor Hocking Glass for 10 years, and in several shopping malls, head shops and cars. Finally ended up in a senior living complex in southern Ohio. Would drink, and fall, drink and fall. Several hospital visits for head injuries. Anyhow finally fell again a few months ago, broke his jaw, but when he woke up, had no idea he smoked or drank. Never asked for a cigarette or drink. Next day he found out he had lung cancer. Things went down hill from there. 72 hours ago he fell again and broke a hip. Took him to the hospital and replaced his hip and he promptly died 48 hours later. Phucking crazy. My last drink was March 1, 1994. I'm grateful every day. The man that invented the unspillable bong is dead. May he rest in peace.

Smart move on the door. I was kidding, actually thought you were done. Now kinda sorry I asked...the saga continues. But I guess being past final inspection is the big hurdle...the rest is easy in comparison...just rob a bank.

How many days 'til you escape to da villa?

Good Morning

Lots of rain last night. Why does the grass have to grow? Why can't it just stay green and not grow longer?
Back to work later. Hope the truck remembers how to get there.

One question!! It's still better than having a solid cover of the white shit that just continues to get deeper isn't it??

thanks man...she went downhill quick...like in 2 months time. From being pretty stout, and fiercely independent, to being completely invalid...it is all dementia related... she won't eat; won't take meds; had a pretty bad fall 5 weeks ago that broke her pelvis...I think that was the final blow mentally...that and the dementia

and my wife is getting NO help from her sibs...they want nothing to do with it...except for collecting the trust at the end....they are seriously just like vultures

So sorry for what you're going through. Sucks having to watch a parent (or sibling) go downhill and die. Have to think sometimes that dementia is a blessing for the patient - so they don't know what's happening to them. Not good for those watching, though.
