Marty's birthday

Marty turned 90 yesterday. Frank called to wish him a happy one, but he was sleeping, so Frank chatted with Judy instead. In an IM conversation, I asked Frank how Marty is doing. This was his reply:

Fading would be my best word choice. Judy sez he no longer helps at all with transitions. Sleeping a lot. She's looking into getting some kinda lift-thingy which is apparently the way to go when you aren't strong enuf to move the subject all on your own. Got a "cold" he can't completetely shake. But basically, he's mostly the same, just ... less there... But he still enjoys chatting and tv and getting outside. Not too bad, all things considered.
