ADD and the Elderly
Posted by: sandwichlady on: February 22, 2010
I tried to get through the mall today with Mom. She has a major case of ADD, but would never admit it. We can’t go three feet without her stopping to read a sign or get distracted by something “shiny”. I find myself walking in front of her and occasionally putting my hand back to [...]
Something Funny
Posted by: sandwichlady on: February 19, 2010
“Okay, sit down and write something witty for this blog you started, ” I think to myself as my house cleaning list goes through my head. I don’t like to clean. Never have. My sister on the other hand is the female version of Mr. Clean with the lemony scent. She can clean the chrome [...]

Doctor visits
Posted by: sandwichlady on: February 1, 2010
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the “medical history” forms at doctor visits a little redundant and irritating?
