The Decline

What everyone should know

You must read this!

You must do that!

This is just a test, so do as you will.

I'm here to document my fall. From civilization, perhaps, though I fear the crowding and the smoke, not to mention the hell fire. But no, just my fall in general. There’s Parkinson's, which is replete with falls, and the cognitive impairment, which is due to small brain mass.

Here's a message left for me a few years ago: You have a significant loss of brain mass.

I couldn't recall misplacing any, and I might have noticed if some had seeped out my ears, but there we have it. My primary care doctor suspected Parkinson's, and so did I based on the shaking I was experiencing after driving for 40 minutes. Just the arms though. The rest of me was too busy observing my weird arm movements to see anything else.

Boredom has set in already, and I fear this may be a long task. That's okay, you pay by the month, while I will do this as I please. The words in my head have become too numerous to spatter them on Facebook, and not always welcome, except by my most devoted fans.

I promise you this: I shall never write “should of” instead of “should have.” There is more, but I don't want to promise too much and under deliver. (One word or two?)

I have no name for this, no catchy tag line, even no banner.
