Old? NOT!!!!

Most of the time I'm happy to be far from my home and family. The distance makes it all that much better when we do get together. We all get along very well and always have. We have fun, we laugh together, and it seems like we have some cause to cry together now.

My older sister is the closest of the five of us in proximity to the parental units. It seems that she, along with her -in-law and my youngest brother, have noticed in recent months that our father is having more than his share of "senior moments." She was trying to determine how to approach mother, but it also seems mom doesn't have her head as far in the sand as we all believed. Dad was referred to a neuropsychologist a couple of weeks ago for testing. He failed whatever tests they gave him. He is now on Aricept. I sure hope it helps. I've heard good things about this drug, but I've also heard about some ugly GI side affects. Hopefully, Dad won't suffer from those.

I'm having a little trouble with the parents getting old. Dad will be 83 in June and Mother will be 82 in August. Maybe I'm having trouble with it cuz it means I'm also getting older. I love my life. I don't want to feel old. I truly believe old is a state of mind. I don't think Dad kept his mind active enough after he retired. I do not want that to happen to me. Keep thinking...feeling...creating...living...learning...if I can do that, then I won't be old. I refuse to be old.
If you are strong and push through the pain and the fear, you often find that happiness is waiting for you on the other side.

 Enjoy your youth (relative) while you're still able to enjoy it. If you ever want to "play" on a weekday afternoon and just let go of all your sexual tensions, just let me know. I would love to get naked with you. Give you a massage and try to satisfy both of us at the same time.

 Dear Songbird,
I am going through the same thing with my parents. My Dad is 85 and my Mom is 82. We are very lucky to have had both of them for this amount of time. Until 2 yrs ago my father ran his own restaurant but we started to see that he was forgetting lots of things. He even noticed it also so he had to sell his business. My mom has also started to be more than a little forgetful. Both of them have been very active through the years so in that way you can't put the blame for this forgetfulness on inactivity. What I am trying to do is check in on them every other day and help in anyway that I can. It does make a difference so I will continue. About me ending up that way, I am doing everything I can think of to try to fend this off. I am 59 and have no intention of fully retiring. Staying active seems to help keep everything working better. So just help your parents anyway you, just be there for them, they will feel better and so will you. Thinking 1212

 Ahhh, Ms. Boid, the age thing is sad and scary. However, you are doing what is needed, stay active, create, live. I lost my Dad 2.5 years ago and my Mom about 3 months ago. After the sadness, you remember the good things, so take the time to talk to your folks regularly. It will help you keep tabs on his progress. And do not be afraid to push the Doctor on what he is taking. Expensive, over hyped meds quickly become unruly. If he is not getting better after 3 month, ask questions.

There is no avoiding what is real, there is only making the best out of what you have. When they go, it is tremendously sad, heartbreaking even, but you spend each day working on that day, and before you know it, life is back on track.

You'll do great and peace to the fam.
