ok, so in church this morning, ernst was late in arriving, and he leaned over and whispered something thart sounded to me like i have been at the shop ...pain pills.......i thought he had somehow injured himself....but no- he had really said....i have been at the shop paying bills..............my hearing is going quickly...by the end of the day i may cease to recognize the voices of my loved ones at all...we might have to go to sign language...until my vision goes as well,,,,,,,
