And we are fighting it as best we can. He has been a perpetual student and fearful of death. Now he is learning all over again, and the fear is gone. That is the blessing in all this. We're involved in a double blind study and have a geriatric specialist who is the best we could find in our area. Right now he has a chest cold and it scares me to death. I am determined to keep him engaged and exercising. That I understand is key. And since he always has exercised and taken care of himself, it is my duty to pick up the slack and keep him at it.

But the cost to caregivers' health is pretty steep. All the news of the ACA costs going up is very untimely. I tend to think politically these days without being able to control my thoughts at all. We have been fortunate to have union coverage, but those costs have risen considerably.

I think this whole campaign is a nightmare. I blame the media mostly. I blame monopolies. And Roger Ailes. It cheers me to know he's been exposed. But now he has more one on one time with Trump. See? I can't stop myself.....
