WILF 46,873 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 My oldest brother (65) has got dementia, I don't know exactly how many tablets he is on a day but it's more than 12 !! Of one type of another, he is completely off his tits !! Can't remember yesterday but remembers events 30 years ago clear as day ! He is a kip loads of the time but he gets easily frustrated and gets angry. f***ing shame as he used to be right amongst it, golf with the boys in Spain, fights in Vegas, he has got wardrobes full of the most handsome clobber (over a 100 shirts at last count!!) and he now sits about in his joggers. f***ing shame. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,080 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 back from the scan, confirmed calcium build up in the wrong place, also picked up torn ligaments close to where it anchors onto the bone, f**k knows how that happened, wait now to see surgeon again, never mind, think of all the free drugs I`m on, saving a fortune on diesel as well (now its the cheapest its been for god knows how many years), see scrap has also fallen, anyone like to guess at how long it will take for that to filter down and pellet prices will drop!!!!!!!!!! with the luck I`m having now by the time I can drive again it will probably be back up to £1.50 ltr again,, never mind, still got my health Quote Link to post Share on other sites
