Dear Don---it sounds like you were at the bottom of the rollercoaster we ride on when you wrote about being "dumb". Of course you're not dumb, but I'm sure there are times when it feels that way when you can't do/remember things the way you used to. And you are not one who likes to "rest on his laurels" but who wants to keep working and won't give up. Please DO as you're told by others here, and take it easy, give yourself some slack,as they say these days. Being worried about Vivian doesn't help, either, I know, and it's scary that she is not real well. I wonder which one of you worries MOST about the other? ;-) You've earned the right to relax, but I guess that's hard for you to do--so write to us all when you feel discouraged, because we care about you both!
