In the presence of Bianca, he discussed his deafness in his left ear, a problem previously discussed enloquently at Tout le monde. A problem that led him to seek counseling for his mental health.
Accompanied by the possibility of perhaps becoming legally dusty.
“Do you panic when you go to bed at night? Do you hide? Do you have the dog?” asks Bianca Gervais.
“Yes, I’m very bitchy,” answers Louis Morissette without hesitation.
“What are you doing with it?” Bianca wants to know.

“I'm self-medicating (…) So I have anxiolytics that helped me get through this because I would have banged my head against the wall (…) The second ENT doctor I saw, she told me, 'If you If you no longer hear on one side, that's what it's like.” Like a part of your brain is no longer stimulated and what awaits you is dementia, it's Alzheimer's (…) Alzheimer's makes me angry, it makes me cry all the time. When this person said that to me, I thought they ultimately just wanted to sell me $10,000 devices… but they didn't know what they had just done. I came home in the evening, I was lying in bed, I only had my iPad, I read about 42 articles on it, there was no way I could sleep. My friend said: Stop, stop, stop, stop! But I couldn't stop and it took a long time. Afterwards I sought help and was consulted, albeit psychologically. Then I take medication that helps me simply slow down the hamster (…) Other ENT doctors told me: “That’s wrong, that’s not true,” the producer reveals vulnerably.

A little later, Louis brought up the idea of a possible slowdown in day-to-day work or even full retirement, but his better half, a certain Veronique Cloutier, wouldn't entirely agree!
“When you lie in bed at night (…), do you sometimes dream of retirement?”
“I'm going into this window! But my problem is my wife (…). In fact, she is my greatest gift in life and my greatest problem. She is not in the window (…) I talk about it, about slowing down, I tell her: You know, in 3-4 years our youngest will be in CEGEP, she will have her own life. The rest of us could travel, we could stop by… I can write from Florida! I can play golf,” Louis reveals this dream, which seems too early for Véro.
Who knows… maybe Véro will be ready in a few years!
A very touching moment in the company of Louis Morissette.
