Well, thank you for that, I much appreciate it! However, it appears that dementia is progressive so I hope that I get CTyankee Aug 15 #9

Good Luck. I hope all turns out well. LoisB Aug 15 #10

Alas, it is fatal but here's my take on it: I am 85 and holding out to reach 95. My mother lived to be 92. CTyankee Aug 15 #11

95 is good. I plan on both of us being here on DU to celebrate. LoisB Aug 15 #14
