One of the things Gramps still enjoys doing is gambling. In the past, his games have been poker and craps. As of late, he has been sticking to Paigow and the slot machines, which are a little bit easier for him to understand these days.
A couple days ago, my mom took Gramps to an Indian casino and set him in front of a slot machine. She had him betting the minimum credits to draw out the game. However, on one particular pull, Gramps bet the maximum number of credits without understanding what he was doing. And wouldn’t you know it on that particular pull, he HIT THE JACKPOT! It was only a penny machine, so he got himself 3,000 shiny new pennies, but what luck.
This luck might be explained by Gramps rather unique method of consuming fortune cookies.
Instead of reading what his fortune holds, lately, he has been forgetting that there is, in fact, a fortune in fortune cookies, so he consumes the cookie whole…fortune and all! Perhaps this is an ancient Chinese secret that they forget to give you with the bill for your chow mein: To make your fortune come true, eat it!
Alzheimer’s Fact: The FDA has approved five drugs to be used in Alzheimer’s treatment: memantine (Namenda), tacrine (Cognex), donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), galantamine (Reminyl). About half of the people taking these medicaitons show modest and temporary improvement in memory and thinking skills.
Note: Gramps takes Aricept.
