Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Jim I guess the brain fog thing must be individual but Elmer had it too after awhile. I didn't notice it that much at first, he was at retirement when all of this started and had open heart surgery shortly after that but he did start to really slow down mentally after a few more years. He was a top notch millwright and finish carpenter and the time came that Jim had to remove all his tools because he was afraid his dad would get hurt trying to use them. When he couldn't remember how to put the drill bits into the drill, we knew he had lost a lot. He would call and ask Jim to come to the house to help him set the thermostat because he couldn't remember how to do it. So, as seems to be with this awful disease, there is no set pattern for anything. I'm glad you're still with us reading. Are you all warm and toasty down there? My brother says they are enjoying lots of warm weather in Buras. Sally in KS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
