This week was David's six month appointment with his gp doctor. His weight is good, blood pressure good, cholesteral good, all his blood work good ................. he's so healthy, other than this @@##$%*&!!!! disease called Alzheimers. However, I must say that I'm so happy we're only dealing with this one disease.
The doctor always seems amazed, because David appears to be okay. Knowing that David was a CPA, he ask him a simple math questions, 2 x 2 = David finally figured out that 2 x 2 was 4 ... YEA! The doctor ask him what month and year it was..... and David said, " I should know, because I just
had a birthday." I ask him if it was June or August and he said, "August.".... YEA! He didn't know the year. Oh well......
Yesterday was a bitter/sweet, but a fun time having our 9 year old grandson come for a visit.
Here's a photo of David and Andrew playing army men in 2005. They always had so much fun 'setting up' the little plastic army men.
So yesterday when 9 year old Andrew ask his Pope to play.....they tried. David couldn't recognize the different pieces, but when he would get one right, Andrew would say, "good job Pope." I think Pope's condition is teaching our grandchildren patience and understanding. A good thing!
David couldn't recognize the pieces, and couldn't remember how to play, but ..... I also think Andrew, at 9, is also outgrowing plastic army men, and had trouble playing too................
We made cup cakes in 2005 and in 2009 we made cup cakes again
.........
And I say, "thank you God!~"
