Benefit of the Doubt

[the_local_echo]

After a good night's sleep, I've decided to think a little less badly of my grandparents. They're very old, and it must be near impossible to be in one's late nineties without some mental deficit. It may have seemed like they were being manipulative on purpose, but I suspect that underlying it was a lot of confusion that they couldn't admit to

I suspect that the person they talk to most apart from each other is my mother, and that would rot anyone's brain.

Indeed...

There seems to be a big push these days to get old and even middle-aged people onto statins to prevent various physical nasties. What we need is pills for dementia, that will not only help with the most serious cases like my father, but can be rolled out to the entire aging population to help with mild confusion and general old-age tetchiness.

Maybe it'll happen by the time I'm elderly... or maybe by then I'll be too bloody-minded to care :-)

I'm mildly confused most of the time :o)

Hope you two have a great time on Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the piccies :o)
