About 3 weeks ago Dr Inouye (sp?) put Popi on a new medication. As people age a certain chemical in the brain decreases and causes the symptoms of aging. This medication returns that chemical back to more normal levels. It has been working great for Popi. He says he can think, concentrate and remember better. His balance is much better, he has more energy, he is more cheerful and his appetite has returned. Doreen was really afraid she would lose him soon, but now they both feel encouraged that he will be with us for a good long time. He had told me he would not go to the opera again, but now he feels good enough to go again. So, they will be coming to Salt Lake on Monday to go to the opera with us.
Here are a couple of pictures you might like:

Pam has some glasses similar to those but they are bright red. I love my silhouette glasses I wear now. So much lighter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for updating about Popi. It's nice to know.
