The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsDoes Elizabeth Taylor Have Altoids? No, Um... Uh... Al Qaed... No, Um... Alzheimers?
Senility seems to be setting in for Elizabeth Taylor these days as she speaks with Larry King about her rumoured Alzheimers.
Taylor blurted out many statements like "Do I look like I'm dying?" And, "Do I look like or sound like I have Alzheimer's?"
Ummm... yes, to the first question.
In recent weeks, tabloids have speculated that Taylor was close to death. Alternately, some reports said she was being treated for the early stages of Alzheimer's.But, despite how bizarre she comes across, what with her Wacko Jacko slumber party support and all, she is still a trooper for surviving through many major health issues:
In the past 10 years, Taylor has suffered a broken back, skin cancer and several serious bouts of pneumonia. She also had both hips replaced and a benign brain tumour removed.Gee, she's been through all the majors, eh.
As for the second question Taylor asked, well, an hour after leaving the interview with Larry King, Liz headed to the studio, walked up to Larry King, and apologised for being late for her interview, asking, "shall we get started?"
Gotta laugh at this Alzheimer's sound clip

OK - now that audio clip is - - far - um I mean fat - um - I mean funny.
And it's funny even though I have FMS which comes with a cute little side benefit called "fibro-fog". Let's just say that it rolls in and I can't remember what day it is.
My kids joke that we won't be able to tell when I have altzheimers - and that's pretty much true. Of course compared to Liz I'm pretty much _always_ normal.
The problem with FMS is that it's got like the russian roulette of memory challenges and when the fog rolls out again I'm - relatively - normal. Sounds like something I should talk to Larry King about.

Susan - I guess one benefit to it all is when you do something stupid or make a just plain ol' dumb mistake, you can forget about it the next day - literally.
(no offense meant, always only in fun)
