Burke17 I have a friend 4 years older than I who doesn't do any exercise at all. He doesn't have a scale and when I was visiting him I said, how do you know your weight if you don't have a scale? He says, oh I just know if I feel a certain way then I know my weight.
I said, huh?? That's not how that works. If you want to know your weight, you need a scale. I was in front of scales at a store, even offered to buy him one, nope. He wanted nothing to do with it. Tried explaining to him, having face to face interactions with others can help keep your brain fresh, completely dismisses the idea of that. For me at my job, I'm always having daily, face to face interactions and it helps me out.
Whatever changed for my friend, it's not good. It's like he doesn't care, about anything anymore. His house isn't in the best of shape, when I offered to help him straighten a room up he says, "nahhh it's okay, I'm gonna get to it later" I said, oh so you mean never. But he chuckled and didn't say anything.
When we were out getting food, I was paying for a shot I had as they were bringing out the bag of food. They're giving it to me and I told my friend, here hold this quick, he starts freaking out that he has to carry this bag, I said, you gotta carry it right now I'm trying to pay for this. But his behavior was odd when we were out at a mall, I was calling his name but he was just completely zoned out. He said his hearing is getting worse which, okay so is mine, but this was different, you could see something different in his face. I just wonder if he's developing early signs of dementia or something?
It scares me and that's why I'm doing everything I can do, to stay healthy, not just body healthy, but brain healthy as well.
