What scares me is that I went through this for 9 years with my mother and
the thought of goin gthrough it again is very distressing. The MD thinks
that he is not progressive, but just lost memory frrm throwing some blood
clots. He is on Coumadin and tested frequently.

Coming from me, saying I'm sorry doesn't help. Telling you about people I
know who are going or have gone through the same doesn't help.

I give you virtual hugs and remind you that I care and will listen to you
with understanding. I know you're dealing with it as best you can. ;-|
