That is by far the fanciest cribbage board I have ever seen; beautiful. We played a lot of cribbage when I was young.

Daughter had it commissioned as a gift at Wil's retirement! It offers a quote from Anne of Green Gables:
Delete"I can't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does."
The picture carved into the wood is of our own Mount Mansfield here in Vermont. Pretty great gift!

Been thinking about my mom's last year. She kept having TIAs. The more I watch tfg, the more it reminds me of what happened to her. She'd get back of good deal of function pretty fast, but never all--the deficit just kept growing. Interestingly, she never had the big stroke, her heart failed in about two minutes, she was gone. Mostly they were in the process of moving her, and they'd drop her. I brought my nursing home gait belt with me, put it on her, and taught them how to use it and the dropping stopped. Over sixty you are game for TIAs. . . .

I remember a case of a fellow (in his late forties? can't trust my recollection) who was driving, nearly caused crashes on the freeway, got off and trapped in a shopping center parking lot, not responding to policeman's orders; finally the policeman did something really dangerous--reached into the car and turned off the ignition. Breath alcohol tests negative, no potentially intoxicating drugs or alcohol detected in blood, and the symptoms went away in a couple of hours, just as alcohol would. Concluded that it must have been a transient ischemic attack. No history of cocaine abuse elicited-- that can increase the risk of TIA's. I agree that TFG seems to be having progressively more significant CNS problems of one sort of another. I would wonder how his supporters can't recognize that, but I suppose the answer is that they have not previously seen the like.

I have seen senility in three close relatives--mother, brother, and aunt by marriage. As an incident of my work I often had interactions with nursing home residents. So I have probably seen my share and then some.

My mother had a series of mini-strokes. Each one had only minor effect, but they were cumlative.
DeleteMy Dad had TIAs and I think the last one took his life. Hard to say exactly, because he also had Parkinson's, Emphysema, Asthma, High Blood Pressure and Diabetes.
DeleteOh, wow. What a lot of problems. My father died indirectly from rheumatic fever--he was allowed to get up when he felt better, but later on the standard treatment became a full year of bed rest. The damage it caused to his heart led to his death at 54.
