blog writing

Doing a blog like this is a bit tricky.

Miriam is doing quite well as this disease goes. She functions quite well much of the time. She knows I am her husband and doesn’t mind arguing with me. Her short term memory is a bit wacky, on a good day, but she is sweet and she is my dear wife.

So, dramatic stuff isn’t likely to happen this year, and maybe not next either. I feel for those of you who are deep into more advanced relationships, you have my deepest sympathy. I just don't want to borrow trouble here.

Make no mistake, I am not feeling bad that she is doing quite well. After 55 years of friendship I want that to continue as long as possible. We've had a good marriage and the years since she was diagnosed have been some of our best.

Now we are entering the world of retirement, on a fist tight budget. That has to be exciting.

So I will post with less than perfect timing. I will include stores and thoughts that are clear off base from Alzheimer's.

Sorry.
