We thought of sustenance, and yes, we knew it was wrong, but in post-World War II East Germany (Behind the "Iron Curtain") you did what you had to do to make it. <br /><br />Did the adversity of that way of life prepare me for the Alzheimer's?<br /><br />I don't know, Mike.<br /><br />Those years "toughened me up", I guess, but there's no "work-around" for dementia. There's nothing I can use or do to compensate for that kind of loss except take medicines and hope for a cure.<br /><br />In other words, there's nothing I can steal from someone else to make this better. And I wouldn't anyway.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments and question, my friend.<br /><br />BillBill Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363675343809481156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857683947934039440.post-66749966852842342342009-06-06T12:24:41.135-04:002009-06-06T12:24:41.135-04:00Bill,

Listening to you it sounds you were more accepting than angry about misadventure that might have been averted, which suggests wonderful strength of character.<br /><br />I will look for and read Chs 1 & 2.<br /><br />I had this thought in reading 3. Do you believe your experience of this adversity in life as reported along with any other prepared you in a better way to accept the severe adversity of your present circumstance.<br /><br />Any way around the block, my hat's off to you sir!!!<br /><br />MikeMike Donohuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321626675923007711noreply@blogger.com
