Such is Life

I got this Swedish milk chocolate bar from Ikea recently, it is a large bar and very delicious.

Earlier this week, I was at my dentist for a checkup and cleaning. Thankfully it was a good one. He was telling me that a patient died of a stroke recently. The 60 year old man woke up one morning and told his wife that he wasn't feeling well. He lay down again and went into a coma and died 2 days later. It was a shock because they could remember him coming in not too long ago laughing and cheerful. He had 6 grandchildren and life was good. It's not a bad way to go, although 60 years old seems like a relatively short time these days. Such is life.

Petals Starting to Fall

These are some beautiful roses taken in the neighbourhood on a sunny afternoon as the weather turns to fall.  The petals are just starting to fall.

I took my mom to the dentist yesterday for a checkup, all was good. We give her antibiotics an hour before she gets any dental work as a precaution against the possibility of a dangerous heart infection. They do this for heart patients. Then we went to McDonald's for lunch. I usually get her a signature Mcwrap, the bacon and chicken grilled one. I substitute a side garden salad for the fries that come with the meal. She eats the wrap while I eat the salad. These are probably the healthiest options at McDonald's. She was saying a lot of silly, untrue things and I just humoured her.  She has advancing dementia and has no idea there is anything wrong with her brain.
