Three Years and Satisfied

Hi Everybody, it's Ernie, some of you may remember me. I wrote the 134 page book, The Norwich Street Bridge Kids. I am sure glad I did and I encourage any of you who can, do the same. I also have started to watch Jeopardy. I find it is good therapy to try to keep up with the questions and the answers. I was diagnosed in 2021 and last spring my neurologist rated me at Stage 2. Now, dear friends, do not worry if you too have been upgraded, we can do something to battle this strange decease.

Read a little more than you think you can. Select some of the stories we grew up with. I think of such classics as: Tarzan, Call of the Wild, A Day When Pigs Don't Die. If you like a lot of dialogue, Mark Twain's writings would be a good choice. I'm not trying to promote reading choices, I'm trying to encourage us all to exercise our brains. It will help our battle with dementia and short term memory, at least that's what I have found.

I'm satisfied with the position I'm in under the circumstances, I hope you are as well. Lets keep exercising our brains, it's better than doing nothing. Keep positive, find new things to do also, if you find yourself a little short with your caregiver, work on that as well. Their doing their best, and there may be things they have to learn as well. I often tell the story of how my wife gives me a pint of cream first thing in the morning, by supper time I have a pound of butter. Keep it light dear friends, and please accept my fraternal love, we're all in this together.

Ernie
