Maybe it’s Vascular Dementia, Lewy-Body, or Frontotemporal Dementia. The doctor only has a limited amount of time because that’s how our medical system works. You go home. No one… Read more

  • I should keep track some day of the amount of time I spend looking for things…mainly my glasses!  They are always where I left them or the last place I look. We went to the K (Kauffman Stadium) last night with all of the Vapur stores …My first time to see the Royals play…he and I Read more

  • St. Dana…

    My heart is with my friend, Gena today.  Her daughter is struggling to live at the hospital in Des Moines.  Our family knows her daughter by the name of St. Dana because of the above and beyond care she gave to my mom and Aunt in their last years.    She was always there for Read more

  • I have been so torn about how I feel about the police vs the black community.  I will always give the police the benefit of the doubt…until you have had that adrenalin rush and rush of initial fear when having to deal with the scum of our society (white, black, yellow, purple or orange) and Read more
