Crap, Poop, and All That Stuff

Hard to believe I'm slowing down Never thought this day would ever come Merrily cruising along Oblivious to all the small changes Suddenly I'm forgetting things Or how to do something That I've been doing by rote For too many years to count... I'm scared! My mind goes wild thinking Of what the future has in store for me! When I was younger The thought rarely occurred to me Almost as if that final day Was forever away... then WHAM! It hit me like a ton of bricks Started wondering, will it be tomorrow Next week... next month Don't usually dwell on it But can no longer ignore it Sadly, no one escapes Even the most mighty and powerful Will finally succumb CRAP! POOP! And all that stuff! © Jack Ellison 2014

If you forget me or Dragon, We'll remind you. We're hard to forget! My epilepsy is absentia. I forget, lots! All comes back later. Go figure! I'll coach you thru. Keep notes to remind you, smells, and routine things pull memories back. It's called muscle memory. Do exercise, moving helps the heart pump to your brain. Not heavy stuff, simply move. Keep the mind active, Dragon says to think about him. He inspires great thoughts, you know... R.I.G.H.T! LOL... OOpps! He heard me!... Gotta run!...

Oh, Jack! Don't dwell on it. When it goes, it goes. Go until you can go any longer then you know you have put it all. But you are still kicking, so the old machine is still jamming :) Booyah...Booyah! Can you hear it? :)
