Hello

Yes I am still here you lucky people. Thought you might like to know that Yolanda from the documentary as of 15 minutes ago was still with us and fighting.

Things are getting screwery in my world. I know that the computer and calendar say it is 2013, but I am trying to figure out where 2011 & 2012 went. I do not remember them hardly.

We just got back from northern California visitig my daughter her hubby and 4 kids for a few days. My older daughter joined us with her 4, yess Lynn & I got a room for me to escape to. 8 grandkids and their parents is definetly more than I can handle. Extra drugs help but only to a point.

Physically things are still going the wrong way and that includes that brain cell that i have. If Lynn had not told me, I thought that I have been posting regularly, not so Mr. Brain.

I listen to all that they say is happening in research and trials as much as i can and actually i still not heard or remember if they have even come up with a definative cause for Alzheimer's.  Treatment does not seem to moved any further than a shot in the dark still. For me my world seems smaller and lonlier, my brain does not seem to really take in things around me anymore. Sleep and just stareing at the TV seem to be all that hold any interest no matter how hard I tried to pretend that I am with it. Oh well It Is What It Is.

take care until next time.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!

There is a new community some of you may or may not know of now on the web. I have joined it,  it consists of people involved with Alzheimer's, sufferers, caregivers, etc. It is called The Alzheimer's Community   , you can register and join, of course it is free. Come take a look and help spread the word.

My world has been very mixed up lately. I really do not know what is going on in it much anymore. Lynn has to do the check book now, even the calculator does not do what i wnat it to do. Talking is becmoing one of those one time I knew how to do that and make sense.But that is the way it goes.

I sit here and have all these things to say and when I go to they go somewhere other than on this page, it pisses me off. Making a decisssion for me takes alot of time. So much that I forget what it is that I am trying to answer or do.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!

I just remembered something, I have noticed that most of my so called friends have disappeared from my life, just as they did when I stopped drinking. Quit being a drunk and loose your friends, have your brain eaten away loose your friends, seems interesting.

Hello To All

I have added new resource sites again, soon will need a website for them alone.

I went fishing behind my pond the other night. A hose ame loose on the filtering system and Mr. Fix It, went out after midnight to meet the challenge. Well all went well, connected the hose back up got the system running again, stood up turned and immediately found myself tangled up on the ground in the plants, a plant stand in the dark.  Just a badly bruised ego, some bruses scratches and aches but I am use to that, I am not stable a foot.

One thing I do to try and keep my well let us say graying matter working, is to do towels for the week on Friday, yes that is today. I got up did normal cleansing stuff, changed all the towels, put the dirty ones in the washer and behold it cleaned them. I put them in the dryer, mind you this was about 9am, it is now 7pm. My wife came home about 11am I aksed her where she had been, she gave me that look and said I told you I was going shopping. OK. I just now asked what day it was and was told Friday, immediately my wife said the towels, well you got it they were stilll in the drlyer. So I just finished folding them and putting them away, a bit behind my time.

Don't forget Tuesday to listen to the radio web show, well i guess better said i do not forget to get on it.

Life in the world of Alzheimer's never a remembering moment.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!
