Somehow, I or someone helping with the site, has had me introducing myself on posts (in medium-blue clickable text) as "beenthere" and goes on to state for me that I have recovered!  Now, that would be miraculous - a cure for Alzheimer's Disease!  But, my "beenthere" refers to the fat that ...

    Bill,

     

    I am one in two places, you are right.  I did not intend it to be so, but when I tried to take the resulting confused situation away, I wound up with two identities, sort of.  I don't think I'll do anything about it.  It could get even worse.  So, "Sojourner" is (and has) "been there."  I was my mother's caretaker during her Alzheimer's years, and now I'm diagnosed by PET scan as being in the beginning stages. 

     

    I hope things are more peaceful in your situation.  If the people who can help you have not called on you yet, it is a comfort to know that there is help on the way, at least.  Bless your heart!  You are a good son, who has done his best for his mother.  Now, try to go and get some sleep.  God be with us all.

     

    Until later,

    Sojourner
