Senior Whatever?

The destruction of my chair I do not count as a senior moment, senior moments: that phenomenon that's grown cutesy last couple of decades of periods of confusion, lack of concentration and forgetfulness. The destruction of the chair just getting too close to the tabletop and going faster than I needed to I blame the chair however this morning I got up and I started my day a bit stressed out as I remember the destruction to the controller my power chair.

Maybe the attention to the controller threw off my regular routine but I went in to make coffee. I don't make coffee every morning just because it takes be so long to drink a pot of coffee so is every couple of days that rarely have ever have I forgotten to hit the go button once I had the coffee prepared. This morning after preparing the coffee I went in and did my morning routine in the bathroom shaving etc. they came back the coffee had not started and I figured okay that's not a big deal. Again a major routine change occurred because I did not wash clothes on Friday or Saturday which is typical of me to wash clothes on those days so today I am doing my wash. So I went back into the bedroom and finished putting the wash together and getting ready to wash. Once again I press the red button on the coffee machine and took my laundry down started the wash. Coming back I was looking forward to the smell of fresh coffee with the door no friendly aroma met my nose. I looked the coffee pot not a drop was in. Then in the back of my mind I remembered or more correctly I don't remember putting water in the coffee maker. Remember thinking about it but then got sidetracked the something else, sure enough I pulled the coffee maker out turned it around and there was nothing in the reservoir. So even though I'd hit the button and probably try to make coffee but it didn't happen.

I just returned from throwing the wash and the dryer and finally the aroma of fresh coffee is finally caressing my nose. I love hearing the bill cheating gurgling of the coffee processing from water to coffee. I hesitate to bring up this other senior moment that I experienced this morning but I guess I should in all honesty. As I lay waking this morning as I often do I start putting together the pattern of my day. This morning I really had confusion rather than clarity of a new day. I first thought it was Saturday then thought it was Sunday that spooked me a little bit because I couldn't figure out which they of the weekend that it was and it was only when I backtracked my memory and remember that my attendant care person saw me yesterday morning that it couldn't be a weekend but it also couldn't be Monday and finally a resolved the issue with my brain by saying it was Tuesday and indeed it was and is. Like I said this is kind of spooky and doesn't need to go any further than this page. And really didn't even think about these issues and the vein of senior moments until a side scrolling through my cell phone right before I got up there those weird medical ads. You know the kind it shows you a syndrome aura issue that you may or may not have and then starts teasing you about getting information which really just a real way to sell you something. But the talked about something I think I've been experiencing which is wet macular degeneration. I know it sounds like something from a porn movie but I've noticed last couple months that my right eye will go through moments of tearing up and dropping tears almost copiously. Though I didn't go through the come on to see what wet macular degeneration was I don't think would really ever tell you what she bought something but it seems from what little the ad said I'll bet that's what I've got about I get the courage and the time I'm good Google that if nothing else see what the RX might be for it. Until that point however I've got to get this chair fixed sooner the better… If I can just remember the number of the wheelchair shop.
