WOW! Impressive! Congratulations. That's great to hear. Forget the doctors....what do they know...I NEVER EVER give predictions when it comes to how long someone is going to live or die unless it has literally happened! They are wrong 99% of the time. So maybe it's not a bad idea for a doctor to diagnose you as only having 6 months. Probably means you'll be around to the next century! LOL. Keep on chugging away Mrs. Sorrell. If you want to keep your mind as sharp as it seems and you are computer literate you may consider the website: www.lumosity.com I think you'd enjoy it. I recommend it to all my patients, young, old, with or without cognitive difficulties. It is proven to keep elements of the mind sharp and is lots of fun....the best VIDEO GAME on the planet which is also GOOD FOR YOU!
