Off and on anyway. My wife had a stroke and it’s just she and me, but she helps with the writing of these posts.
It’s a little sporadic, I know, and I am careful to not post anything that might result in name-calling, but this still is my my first internet bulletin board.
Off and on anyway
Good to see you. I was going to send you a ‘Christmas card’, but couldn’t get to your FB page.
Sorry to hear about your wife. My best wishes to both of you.
Dang it! I wanted to be first to welcome Quasi back, but just then the waitress brought me my corned beef hash!
How ya doin’ Quasi? By gum, it’s been awhile!
Also best get well wishes to your wife.
Hey, man–good to see you!
Welcome back !! We missed you. :D:D
Good to hear from you again, Quasi! All the best to you and your wife.
I missed you Quasi! Good luck to you and the Mrs.
I tried smoking hash once, but couldn’t get the corned beef lit.
Thank you and my wife (Dondra) says thanks for the well wishes. The stroke affected her eyesight only and that’s getting better and she remains the only driver, but with me as navigator, we’re okay with that.
We do neuro-checks on each other every day, and due to the meds we both have to take (get mine from the VA) sometimes we miss the questions, but all in all we’re fine.
Thanks again to everyone.
Quasi
I’m glad you’re still around. My best wishes to you and your wife!
It’s nice to see your name around the board again.
WELCOME BACK!
These checks are harder to do than ever, with or without meds, due to the constantly shifting nature of reality anymore. :dubious:
“smile, what day is it, who’s president, what color card am I holding up?” are among some of the questions we ask each other.
There are others. A couple of years ago, I spoke to some high school students about the types of dementia and we passed out note cards beforehand and asked them all to print 3 very simple questions on them which we took up later.
There were a bunch of repeats, of course, but those are what we use. 
Q
My dad joked his memory was fading. He wrote himself a note that he kept in his wallet. He said every morning he’d get it out an read it: ‘Good morning. Your name is Woody. Have a nice day.’
I asked him how he remembered to read the note. GOTCHA, dad! 
Hey Quasi, good to see you!
Welcome Back!
Best wishes to you and your wife.
We’ve missed your sense of humor around here. Welcome back, Quasi. Best to you and Dondra.
