It's terrible - it's the same person, but it really isn't. - Bob

Re: Re: Actually, CC, Ted's okay. She's in a nursing hospital and

oops... still remembers his name, but that's all.  The sad part is something I wrote a poem about back on July 17 - Anita's still fairly attractive and when Ted goes to visit, he often finds a male patient walking with her and holding her hand.  It gets him upset,but there's not much he can do about it.  Heartbreaking. - Bob

It is pretty rough Bob when someone thinks you about to harm them or one has to tie a rope to someone to stop them running off in the night. I don't know which is worse seeing them doped to the eyeballs or wild with fancies. Ted is doomed.
