Odd-ball Day

Our annual fitness review at the Old Farts Home today. Annoying and humiliating.

How is your appetite

Problems swallowing

Can you dress yourself

Can you pee and pooh yourself

Do you have mobility problems

Are you driving

Blah blah blah

Then, memory/cognitive tests for both of us. Jim doesn't know what year, month, day, season it is. Thank you for reminding me of that, I had no idea.

I do know all of that but can't count back by sevens more than four times. I'm a librarian! I do words, not effing numbers. Then I had a minute to recite all the words I could think of beginning with 'F' -- heh. I think the nurse actually blinked when I said fricassee. And, I don't think she knows fail from flail, or fan from flan.

Upsetting and the interviewer was not especially competent or skilled. Is it possible to do these interviews more kindly. You can bet I'll be researching this.

Meanwhile Jim went off to play chess and won. I went grocery shopping and won there, too.
