I love the DVD show! And, yes Kelly, Laura would be appalled at D ick's behavior.
I can't get my head around this one. At 40, I had unstoppable energy. I was on the go all the time and even though I was exhibiting some neurological stuff I still was all energy. (I was dx at almost 42 and that energy changed with a major flare). Of course, that's not to say that an 86 yo doesn't have energy. That's not quite it. But at 86 you are in a much different place than at 40. He has 46 years on this woman.
Most 86 yo I know, which isn't a whole lot, spend a lot of their time reminiscing about the past. There energy level is lower than a 40 yo. And, they're dealing with health issues - DVD with his history of drinking, is definitely dealing with issues. And, I can't help but say this but the S-word more more than likely involve a prescriptive aid. (I'm trying to be G-rated here.) That's just part of the aging process. So, I just don't get it.
