Talk about similarities! Wow! About the only differences I could see was that your husband still drives some and your dog is tiny and ours was big. I say "was" because he died early this morning. My husband has been much worse today, and it might be because of that. We'll miss our boy terribly, but I'm glad he's not suffering any more. One other difference—as far as I know I don't have an aortic aneurysm, but I do have chronic A-fib. So far, though, I don't have much problem with that.

I'm like you in that I'd be lost without fiction and the internet. I swear I don't know how people who don't like to read manage all the things life throws at us.

I'm so sorry about your dog. I dread that day when our time comes, but I'm told that Chihuahuas live forever. My husband has a-fib. If you like mysteries and escapes, you might like Louise Penny. Have you read her?
I'm nervous about the visit to the neurologist. My husband doesn't understand why we're going and I don't know what to expect either. Our regular doctor has diagnosed dementia and tests have been run but no one has said the word Alzheimer's. I'd like to know what kind of dementia we're dealing with. Stay strong and keep reading.
