Ada,
Yes, that's me! Call me anything, just not late for dinner, just like dear old Dad!

A word about your memory, we cannot "process" things well while we're in pain. It just don't go together, dr S in Philly told me that, and kept reassuring me of it.

You need to know and this is truly wisdom for those of us with chronic pain....
Know When To Stop.
Shut down the thought process, and listen to music, watch the boob tube, have a conversation with a friend about something different...

I'm involved in HD litigation with my wife, and etc.
She is relentless in wanting to take everything I owned before marrying her, I was fairly well off...
She wants it all.
I should be "Making notes, writing this, that for my attorney"... can't do it.
Sometimes when I can, I do well. But, If i push too hard, forget it all!
It just won't happen.

"His Will Be Done"...
