Manage episode 360703826 series 3442822
With Michigan dispensaries a very short drive from Greg’s cottage in Indiana, he decides to drive up to buy some gummies. What could go wrong? He could forget his mom after dropping her off at the grocery. She could meet him in the parking lot with a basket of groceries she didn’t buy. She has dementia which is a better excuse than watermelon flavored Sativa edibles.
Andy talks about the cold chill he felt when going back to school after 40 years and having to take Algebra. With the exception of teaching, what profession even uses algebra?
When is it ok for your doctor to be referred to by their first name? Should a Neurologist go by his first name? When Greg’s sister suggests they visit a neurologist for their mom named Doctor Steve, Greg says no, I don’t want a guy who sounds like the host of a YouTube children’s show. They started looking at memory doctors when his mom began miming words she couldn’t remember. His sister thought it was stress. Stress from what? Living a retired lifestyle on a lake? Turns out it was Lewie Body Dementia. Look for her on the Muppets with Dr Steve next week.
