INVERTEBRATIA

Def: A condition the result of which a vertebrate becomes an invertebrate

I used to be afraid that I was spineless,so I took up karate and kickboxing and messed up my knee.

First I walked with a cane, then with a four wheeled walker,lately not so much at all.

One calls it spinal Stenosis,another says it's too deteriorated to fix.

It's amazing what I can do in four and a half feet of water. But I don't aspire to become a tadpole. I'm looking for a chrysalis. I want to fly someday.

THIS IS MY BRAIN ON ARICEPT

Yep, that's right. The Old Woman is on Aricept now. What does that mean, you ask? She doesn't really know. She just figures she should expect some changes, hopefully very gradual, but no guarantees. So she's considering reactivating this blog as a kind of Alzheimer's diary. Maybe if she writes a little, say once a week or so, it will be possible, retrospectively, to discern the slope of the decline. Of course, that will have to be someone else's project, since, by the time it's worth doing, it will be beyond the capability of the Old Woman.
What an adventure!
