That's when she hit me that I had either read the paragraph and added a word that wasn't there or I had skipped over a word that was there, which the result made the paragraph wrong because that word that I had added or omitted changed the entire meaning of the paragraph.
I had done this three times in a row. There was a reason I didn't like to read. I had some sort of issue reading. Of course I never looked into it, to see what it was. So, I still have issues reading to this day. I prefer to listen to an oral presentation rather than read. It must be some form of dyslexia. I have to read my responses like a hawk, and sometimes I still miss my mistakes.
I aways knew I was a little off anyway, so why worry about it. 🤣
I had surgery a few years back now, and the doctor told my wife that my innards were all screwed up. She told me but I can't really remember, but I think my circulatory system was out of place with normal people. I believe it was on top of my organs rather than being behind the organs So, I have internal issues as well. Oh well, I have gotten along for all these years, and as I enter into my twilight years I see no reason to concern myself with my foibles. I do not think there was any way to fix the issues anyway. 🤣
It’s good to know about things that make you different. It makes you careful.
Knowing that your stomach is not where it would normally be means that you have to keep all emergency personnel aware of that fact if they treat you when you’re unconscious. An allergy bracelet can be engraved to include that information.
Knowing for certain that you tend to miss words when you read is also excellent knowledge. It means that you KNOW all important contracts need to be read by a lawyer. And you KNOW that you need to have a close family person read all the small print in how to take a new medicine and what side effects to look out for.
No one needs to be alone in dealing with issues. Danger comes when you don’t KNOW about issues. You’ve been blessed by being warned so that you can now take care better. Good for you!
I turn 80 next month. Still mentally 25. Just can’t convince my body to feel 25.
Twilight is a good time. It’s when the blue jays and cardinals come out to feed, so it’s when I first put out the peanuts for the furry and feathery friends. May twilight be another great time in our lives.
