This is a hard status to write. I have reached the end of care and will be stopping treatment this week. I have a degenerative nerve disease similar to ALS. I will not be getting better only worse. I have had a great life and have been blessed with so many dear friends and family members. I...

A friend’s 75 year old high risk husband has recovered.

After moving across country multiple times and living in many cities I really got to make that choice after retirement. I chose New Orleans and have loved it.

Scootaround rents the Whill ci, a power chair that weighs 115 pounds and can be broken down to 3 pieces. it has a controller that is more like a mouse than a joystick. Very easy to use. I’ve owned mine for a year and a half. I love it.

i swear I was asked for my card once in Orlando over 20 years ago. I was surprised.

Louisiana and Arkansas both issue a card with the picture of the person that the tag was issued to. I carry it with me. I must be present on the trip for the tag to be valid.

I never had a class with him as I was more into math and science. He was not top student, but he held his own at a moderately selective school. (Tulane).

I went to college with Jerry Springer.

I recently started at a Marriott property in a HC room with a roll in shower. The bed was very high. And there was only one mirror in the room. - positioned high over the sink where I couldn’t even see the top of my head while in my chair.

Large baked potato with a ton of butter, bacon, sour cream and cheese. I need to gain about 40 pounds. (Just got out of the hospital after a month). Haven’t decided on which vegetables yet.

When my dad was about 85 he needed a new doctor. We lived about 3 miles from a brand new state of the art nationally recognized geriatric center at the med school. He returned home (drove himself) from his appointment absolutely livid. His words to me “Why did you make me an appointment there...

I have no problem going over curbs, holes, rough pavement as long as it’s a 2 1/2 inches or less. I live in New Orleans where our sidewalks are horrible. the wheels do sometimes want to pull to the side when going over rough cobblestone or those raised bumps - but it kind of depends on how you...

About 20 years ago I changed my eating. I did not eat if I was not hungry and stopped when I was full. I lost about 60 pounds the first year or two. Over the next decade I slowly lost another 25-30 pounds. And really didn’t deny myself anything. Maintenance was not a problem. but right now...

I don’t care if that window was padlocked - he was negligent the second he put her on a railing. She probably wouldn’t have died From a fall to the floor but she could have. I personally know 3 people who died from a fall. Just to the floor - not off a balcony or down a staircase. Just hit...

We like staying at Congress Park as I feel that we are just a few yards from DS. That is a preferred section. Paddock can be almost as close and is standard. A decade ago I remember friends telling me how much more they liked the Boardwalk area because there was so much more to do. Now DS is...

Uptown (New Orleans) or to be more specific On the Avenue (St. Charles)..

One semi regret - my college had a junior year abroad option that was very rare over half a century ago. I decided to graduate in 3 years so skipped my junior year. My classmates who participated formed a bond that has lasted 50 years. Plus I really could have become fluent in French. But by...

oh I didn’t make it clear. My current gas stove is modern so no matches needed. I’m fine with it. But I didn’t get to cook with a decent gas stove until I was in my 60s.

I grew up cooking on a gas stove - but it was very old and you had to use a match to start a burner. I hated it. I loved just having to turn a knob with electric. As I primarily lived in apartments or condos that did not have gas I happily existed with electricity for about 20 years. Then I...
