I have a symptom of Dementia. Am I dangerous?

[Raynine]

I keep reading that if you can’t stand on one leg you have dementia. I cannot stand on one leg. In 2001 I got stopped by a cop late at night after leaving a local bar. The cop was fishing for drunks outside the bar and played the odds that I could not pass a breath test. I told him I was not drinking but he said he smelled alcohol and made me do the sidewalk Olympics which required me to stand on one leg. Because I had been riding and racing bicycles for years with multiple crashes my spine was fused, and I had suffered many concussions which made it impossible for me to stand on one leg. I failed the field sobriety test but later got a 0.0 on a breathalyzer. That was twenty-four years ago when I was fifty-four. So, apparently I have had dementia for at least that long.

I just had a doctor’s appointment, and the doctor didn’t mention that I might have dementia even though he did not ask me to stand on one leg. He probably assumed that I am so far gone that it would be waste of time even to bring it up. I just got cataract surgery, and I can read 20-15 on a chart but can’t stand on one leg. My driver’s license was just renewed even though I cannot stand on one leg.

You could run for the dem nomination in '28, even if it gets worse you are a shoe-in.

I would have to learn to shit my pants and shake hands with invisible people.

I can't stand on my right leg due to previous ankle injuries, but I can stand on my left leg.

Does that mean I'm only half-demented?

It could be worse, you could be half-assed.

Based on your previous posts, you are dangerous to bureaucracy. Congrats!

Based on your support for a fascist I have to say yes.

Anyone who uses a walker or cane would have difficulty with that sobriety test.

My last checkup, they gave me a dementia test which involved drawing the face of an analog clock with hour and minute hands indicating 2:10. Did you ever get that test?

I just drew a digital watch that said 2:10.

Yes. At 78, you can remember 24 years ago but are unaware of your capacity now. That means you have two symptoms----memory problems and an inability to stand on 1 leg.

Uh oh, that proves you have dementia!

Doesn't sound like dementia. Do you just get off balance or does it make you dizzy?

 

[Unkotare]

Stick a golf club down one pantleg. You'll be standing on one leg in no time!
