A Chat with my Doctor

I went over the images with the specialist and we both admore the wall the white "patches" as he put it since I last had the pleasure of meeting him on other than social occasions. "These patches indicate to me that your condition has considerably worsened. I was shocked of course, as who wouldn't be, and this seemed as good a time as any to take out my cheque book and settle my debts, as it were.

My friend Finnbarr tells me that our medium to long term memory remains relatively unscathed by what it was I was about to say, but that it's the short term attention span that gets it in the neck. That is my experience precisely.
That's quite enough for one day.
