Your Help & Advice is NEEDED.

I have a decession to make and i am asking you to help me with this. Now i know many of you do not leave comments or only once in awhile, i have found that person anonymous on my site, you know the one that tells the media something or politicians heard it from. But however you chooose to answer please do.

Some of you may remember the short clip in my tiny part of The Alzheimer's Project, where me and my phycologist were talking, he was the good looking young guy with the nice hair.We met the other day, yes i still see him, the poor guy needs help with his car payments. He is very aware of my blog, the documentary, my book and the number of people you have helped me reach. If you use the resources on the side and go from one to the other and use there resources you will eventually reach over 1200 sites for caregivers, information on various forms of dementia, different blogs of those suffering, charities and the rest, all because of suggestions you have passed on to me.

Here is the skinny as they say, whoever they are, Dr. Cain has suggested tapping my sessions now that thingss are going to hell in a hand basket and posting them on my blog. I can post them there or to my You Tube account. You all know i hold nothing back and some of ours sessions are alot livelier and wordy then my posts. He has no problem with it, i have no problem with it, Lynn is undecided at this thime.  We are thinking it will give a better face to the disease not just words, but you get to see my Bright Shinning Face and drool I know it is tough being me. But you couls start to see the true reality of this bastardly disease.

YOUR COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS PLEASE!

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!

Alzheimer's The Relentless Predator!!!!

I have not talked much about me lately, been trying to give you other info.  But this blog is about my journey into neverland. Yes it is a voygae to places I do not know and people that look familar but yet are strangers.

I have been pretty lucky so far, but that is runnning out, the physical affects, my emotions and mental status are starting to change rapidly for me. Lynn has to wakee me up because I fall asleep while eating. I just stop in the middle of things, I sleep at the drop of a leaf and i forget what the hell i am talking about. My hearing is gettting worse, it never has been perfect, but the words I hear from people are becooming completly diferrent from what they are saying. Mornings use to be fine for me, not anymore, I get up still around 8am and out of bed, feed the she devil bird, my attack fish, take my meds hopefully, that all takes maybe an hour. And there I am sound asleep on the couch by 9:30 or so and completely unaware really of things until after noon.  Not that i become a mental genius suddenly but the fog clears for awhil not long anymore. I guess the 8 year path is right i am now in about year 6 or so and things are going away from me or I am going away. Not sure anymore. But you folks have been a blessing in my Life.  The Alzheimer's and Frontal Temporal Dementia are doing there job and getting much better at it. To all that bought my book Thank You, your money that I received has mostly been donated to The Alzheimer's Research Foundation.

so much for today, you all take care of yourselves.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!

Goodbye Mr. Peter Falk!

Dear Peter,
Thank you for the years of Columbo and many other movies that you so entertained us in. You will always be remember for that wonderfully prestine kept car, your Gentlemen's Q dress and your mild manner of investigating.  Yes I was a fan.  You are now free from this bastardly disease, yes I am jealous I am still awaiting my freedom.

Only wish that you and your family would have choosen to go public loud and clear and beat the drum loudly for all of us that suffer.  You could have done so much for us. I know it is hard to let people know, but our closet needs to be smashed so that folks know there are real faces and voices behind this disease.

But rest in peace now and enjoy your freedom, walk with the Lord my friend Peter.

God Bless & Keep You & This Country of Ours!
