Bill never handled our finances but he would buy whatever he wanted, knowing I would take care of the payment. But now he wants to buy things, like hearing aids, that he already has - over and over. I had to remove our PayPal account and change credit cards. And be very careful with Auto Pay.

Today he is going in for his MRI and is actually happy about it. I have a sneaking suspicion that he thinks it is for his back pain, which is chronic. His doctors warned him for past 50 years if he didn't exercise and only sat in his lounge chair that it would damage his body. You rest you rust as one doctor told him. He always had one pain or another that 'prevented' him from doing much. He rusted big time. He also used to do puzzles (he was great at the NY Times Sunday Crossword) every day and then gave that up.

Still insisting he can and will drive. I'm selling the car as I shouldn't be driving either as reflexes aren't as great as they should be for traffic. Our 2007 Town Car has under 54000 miles on it so we haven't been doing a lot of driving anyway!

Hope we get the results on the MRI quickly - I'm always impatient lol.

Hi @billchitwood, my husband's MRI, done about three years ago, showed changes in his frontal lobe.

Good morning @billchitwood I wanted to wish you good things for Bill's MRI. I'll be thinking about you both!

Impatience can be good! When you feel ready, let us know how it went.

Strength, Courage, & Peace
