I told her that I at 44, would not be accused of being senile, just over-stressed with grad school. I did not think she had a problem at all. For one week a few weeks ago, I could not remember what day it was...for a whole week. As long as we can blog, we are all okay. I hope.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-18835009175508592352018-09-21T14:28:55.103-05:002018-09-21T14:28:55.103-05:00Red...No signs of any cancer so far.
