We Can See Only What We Can Think

As someone who is in process of loosing my thinking capabilities (through brain tumors) this writing is both frightening and depressing. It implies that with limited cognitive ability I have nothing.

Cognitive ability is one aspect of us. With limited cognitive ability we still have a great deal.

Cynthia: As a nurse whose 89yo mom has lost a fair bit of her memory and cognitive skills to dementia, I would like to offer some reassurance that life is still sweet to our mom and to my sister and me, even as we adjust to these unwelcome changes. We have great conversations still, and her ironic wit is still part of her style. She still enjoys most of the things she always loved: going out to dinner, riding around in the car with her boyfriend, talking to her daughters and grandchildren and friends about life and the world, hearing from former high school students, exercising with her group, petting the cat, getting her nails done, lunch with friends, and more. She does miss driving. She is not as interested in going shopping, doing emails, or attending her PEO club meetings. She has never been very spiritual or religious, and has been visiting every couple of weeks with a pastoral counsellor, which she says she enjoys. i wish you well in all ways! kindest regards lisa delille bolton
