<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cute sign....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well hello out there cruel world..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope everyone is doing well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I seem to be getting gradually ( thank God) worse , However, I still feel smarter than most people I come in contact with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do , however, feel myself slipping away..The feeling is not easy to describe..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes i blank out, then come back startled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know how long i'm out, but, so far i have not come out of it with any evidence that i did something stupid while i was out?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dreams are pretty odd.. I find myself waking myself up to escape them a lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do tend to sleep a lot now, I do not know why? I'm even taking Narcolepsy medicine.... Perhaps i need to up the dose?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't feel confused most of the time, I do seem to be getting " The LOOK" more often now then before. I always wonder what i just did to warrant it??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to see my friend and fellow Alz victim last week. I had not seen her in some time and was concerned She had gone too fr down the rabbit whole. It was nice to see she is about the same shape as I am.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was in the middle of a conversation and could not remember the name of something important to her point. It completely eluded her like it does me now and then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing i have noticed is, I can recall something from 50 years ago like it just happened, but not so much this week, never mind last week..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thank God for allowing man to invent the cell phone..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It helps me know what day it is, where I am and has unlimited alarms for me to remember things all day long. That and google calendar app that makes all kind of racket to remind me what i'm supposed to be doing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I get more depressed now than I have in a while, but so far no thoughts of self harm... I do sometimes want to harm others, but it is only because i cant iagine why they do some of the things they do....</div>
But, since I can kill a person using only my bare hands, i refrain from any contact with "complete" morons... And suffer through the rest...<br />
I thank God for my Awesome crazy wife. She is smart, beautiful, Funny as can be, talented, resourceful , tolerant of my illness ( for the most part) Gets all my jokes ( when she can hear me.. shes legally deaf) and, with a few exceptions, like everything I do even TV shows.. ( except chick flicks of course.. I can not take too many sugary sweet, lets pretend the world is perfect , the good guy always wins shows)<br />
<br />
We also both game.<br />
On our cell phones, our tablets, and our Xbox's..<br />
We are now a farm/ranch with sheep, chickens ( free range) and Rabbits, I hope to get the two female goats before long so we also have goats milk. We also have a garden. next year I plan to plant a HUGE garden where the cheicken coop is now..<br />
<br />
The pain in my joints is getting excruciating so, I have to use my pain management techniques so i don't go out and break stuff...<br />
My vision and hearing are also fading<br />
<br />
This time of year is always very difficult for me for so many reasons.I try to explain them to my spouse, but how do I?<br />
From my youth when I was in orphanage and got girls presents on Christmas, and wondered how my family was to my son and mother dying on Christmas eve. To so many missed Christmases do to my former career..<br />
December is also when I took a fatal dose of medication and died and was brought back..<br />
Don't remember taking t he pills, but i sure remember the treatment....<br />
<br />
I pray I can get through this season without everyone realizing how miserable I will be...<br />
<br />
The last few years I have not received anything for any important events<br />
Christmas, my birthday, fathers day...<br />
Karen Tries, god bless her and Devlynn.. One of our Grand children( probably my favorite one) but no one else.<br />
No matter how many and how much I helped other people, no one seems to remember me.... EVER.. so hence more depression..<br />
I don't want anything special, a card, mention the day and me in the same sentence? A big hug is always nice.. Of course actually remembering me, then actually getting me something no matter how simple that I ACTUALLY WANT would probably give me another stroke from the shock..<br />
However that will never happen so.. Ill just suck it up and move on... and on.. and on...<br />
<br />
I pray you all have a better holiday than I probably will.<br />
I do not wish others to suffer..<br />
I pray i don't have a BIG ,heart attack, or, another stroke with all the stress....<br />
If you have a little extra prayer laying around, and you could mention me???<br />
Ahhh what am I thinking... No one even reads this thing any more...<br />
<br />
The walk this year was nice and we raised a lot of money, i believe we actually surpassed all goals.<br />
In march we have another event, stepping out for memories. I will try to post info on here.<br />
<br />
OK this has completely worn me out<br />
laters<br />

<br />
<br />
How many people know what THAT symbol is?<br />
Not many I would venture...<br />
<br />
HELLO!!<br />
I have been away for a year sabbatical.<br />
During my year;<br />
I have had a few strokes,<br />
few heart attacks,<br />
fallen, countless times..<br />
I have been ill quite a bit,<br />
BUT,<br />
I am still kicking!!<br />
Last years Alzheimer's walk was nice, went with my wife and Grand children the day before to prep the area.<br />
My Awesome wonderful beautiful Wife Karen and I are both on the planning committees for the walk and the Art auction. ( Stepping out for memories)<br />
We stay as active as my health will permit.<br />
Along with all that I also coach<br />
Tennis... Fun, but exhausting..<br />
<br />
WORK....<br />
I have not been to any of my "other" jobs in quite some time now.<br />
I am semi retired to the point of not working with the exception of an occasional Client Like Merry Mckenna And her collection of Moose Cafe's, since she is a good friend and no one can understand her needs as well as I can.<br />
The big companies don't get it....<br />
<br />
errors in this blog.........<br />
( if you read my blog, you should know i am in who knows what stage of Alzheimer decease and spieling, grammar, and staying on subject, is a luxury, not a given)<br />
<br />
The Future????<br />
I am planning to return to do some contract work this summer.<br />
I may take a grandchild with me?<br />
one of them anyway..<br />
Teach them responsibility and work ethics, customer service etc..<br />
I had hoped to train one of our children to take over my companies when I retire, however, there does not seem to be a chance of that now...<br />
Young people (under 50 now) these days want to work FOR someone, but don't want to actually work, be responsible, follow directions, read contracts, be on time, meet the terms of a contract.<br />
So, instead, they work for less money, work longer hours, have no benefits, quit their jobs and change them often, and still ask us for money almost every month...<br />
So, I am looking to the Grand children now , in hopes of a better future for them than there parents and so forth..<br />
It amazes me that My wonderful wife can work at the same place for 22 years, (and is still working there now)<br />
I managed to stay in the Air force for 25 years and government contractor for 45 years now...<br />
But these young people cant stay at the same job for a year or two??<br />
Never mind 20 and retire...<br />
<br />
As I progress down the Rabbit hole, i will not remember a lot of this stuff that took me 50 years to learn.<br />
I still receive 40-50 calls a day and countless emails and text messages for contract work ALL OVER THE WORLD..<br />
<br />
iT IS FRUSTRATING TO TURN THEM ALL DOWN, ESPECIALLY THE ONES FOR 200.00 AN HOUR.<br />
<br />
OPTIONS...<br />
I still have my insurance license, however, health insurance and life insurance has gone into the twilight zone..<br />
It used to be so easy to sell it.<br />
People need it,<br />
its a good idea to have it.<br />
OBAMA made it mandatory,<br />
but it is still like trying to pull teeth!!!<br />
people ask,<br />
you tell them how much and..<br />
crickets...<br />
<br />
<br />
What in the world???<br />
I am "supposedly" one of the top technologists Consultants/contractors in the country, and some of my clients have been using me for many years;<br />
yet,<br />
some of them have gotten ridiculous about trying to get stuff for...<br />
wait for it...<br />
FREE???<br />
WHAT<br />
Seriously?<br />
Everything I have to pay for is going UP, <br />
not DOWN???<br />
How can they expect things for free and then raise my rates???<br />
I wonder if the DRUG epidemic in our country has taken a serious toll on our people??/ IN more ways than one....<br />
Commercials today seem to reflect that,<br />
YouTube videos, for sure...<br />
<br />
9 year olds getting arrested in elementary school playgrounds for selling hard core narcotics, alimentary school kids breaking in and destroying high school property in groups..<br />
Teen age pregnancy rates going up frighteningly high nation wide..<br />
Assault rates going higher then ever????<br />
<br />
Maybe my mind slipping away will be a good thing???<br />
Maybe I wont have to watch as our country slides down the poop shoot?<br />
<br />
A cure???<br />
There is supposed to be a few hopeful cures out there.<br />
My coconut oil and other techniques i using are helping me progress slower, but.. I still feel the drain, I can fell my mind going every day...<br />
It is a frightening change to go from remembering everything I see and hear to forgetting to pay the water bill and having it get shut of, again...<br />
<br />
<br />
MY journey so far... Today...<br />
Some days I get so overwhelmed i just simply lay down and take a nap..<br />
some days the headaches are so bad I just want to find a dark hole...<br />
IM getting grumpy and impatient, and I get confused more often now.<br />
sometimes I can not figure out what certain people are talking about, no matter how hard I try...<br />
Seriously? I used to be the " go to guy" for everyone..<br />
Now i'm like WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALING ABOUT?<br />
<br />
I used to speak and understand as many as 16 languages, some of them very well and I even wrote in many..<br />
Now not so much..<br />
I can struggle through English, Spanish, Russian German...<br />
Maybe some french and Italian..<br />
ABOUT 8 WORDS IN aRABIC NOW?? WOW I WAS FUENT AT ONE POINT<br />
ABOUT 10 IN Korean, ( ODD CONSIDERING I WAS THE LIASON IN gulf WAR)<br />
Half my family spoke Hebrew/Yiddish when I was growing up..<br />
I can not seem to remember much of it now???<br />
<br />
German i get to speak now and then<br />
and Spanish now and then<br />
Russian AND German with friends on line GaminG.<br />
<br />
<br />
COPING...<br />
I am an Xbox gamer<br />
my two common gamer-tags are RTTC EGORE A and MIB BOSS<br />
I have a few others, but they are my alter ego gamer tags and i don't speak on them.. EVER.. my chance to game with other Friends and see if they talk smack about me behind my back lol..<br />
<br />
Our grandchildren occasionally play with us online, but they have their own friends they like to game with so...<br />
I have about 150 friends i've gamed with for about 8-9 years so I have a choice to go to.<br />
I am primarily a first person shooter, call of duty, Tom Clancy Rainbow six, and " the Division"<br />
however, I also play other games with the wife like, Diablo III ( both versions) Sherlock Holmes, and a bunch of family games lke family game night and its collection monopoly etc..<br />
<br />
Other things that make life better???<br />
I have a few online brain stimulating sites that I will hae to go look up and post on here.<br />
<br />
Music helps me a lot<br />
playing it singing listening to it etc..<br />
The more i play and sing and dance then better I seem to feel and think...<br />
My wife can no longer dance with me so, I have to go with her to chaperon dances so that I can line dance lol...<br />
<br />
I SO wish I could get back into the Acting, singing , dancing, musician, comedian, on stage theater again, and even do another TV thing..<br />
Major movies production would probably kill me, but i could do a T series lol..<br />
Walking dead maybe??<br />
I was asked to interview for a few parts for two of our favorite shows, but, before I could make it, the shows canceled :(<br />
<br />
I have not been on stage in a play since Harvey in 1998 At ART.<br />
And Ghost writer just before that,<br />
Have not done ACT since??? Man of lamancha other than designing lights for Jesus Christ supper star, and building sets with mr Munchenk..<br />
<br />
I realy miss doing theater in Germany and England..<br />
Those where some of the best memories of my younger life..<br />
New York and California was always so darn competitive...<br />
and back stabbing...<br />
Doing that movie in England was fun..<br />
I don't even remember the name of it now..<br />
<br />
I have a guitar now and a keyboard, I really need to get batteries for the keyboard and play my guitar, ..<br />
It is acoustic, so no heavy rock..<br />
my Electric guitar needs repair....<br />
I bought it back in 1963 so, it needs tuner key and some tlc..<br />
<br />
Health???<br />
my vision is going, so i better get on the ball...<br />
I have a laundry list of illnesses now<br />
but i take it with a grain of salt<br />
<br />
<br />
BR-T RANCH and NANNA'S FARM!!!!!<br />
We are raising chickens some for egg laying and some to eat later..<br />
Rabbits, buy default, someone gave us four, did not tell us they where all females and all pregnant<br />
now two died trying to hold in their babies, and we now have two with 6 babies....<br />
<br />
<br />
And we started a sheep ranch two years ago... ( BAR-T Ranch)<br />

<div>
Here are all the paintings before we Set it all up. Just thought I would show you how they looked. One of them is by a Fellow Alzheimer's friend and then there is an item made by an artist next to it made to complement it. The buyer bids on both, and gets both in the auction. I am not sure who made all of them, My friend libby's is in the middle on the left, and mine on the right. I have no idea which ones sold for what prices, as long as something was made to go towards research, I am happy. I am honored that some paint and paper i doodled on two years ago made it this far. Anything I could do to make a difference is awesome and a blessing from God.</div>
<div>
I am not sure how many more day's I have left. I would like to keep making a difference as long as God wills it, to be so...</div>
<div>
May God bless you all and keep you safe.</div>
<div>
May none of you suffer the loss of a family member to this devastating illness.</div>
<div>
I had a dream last week , that a cure would be found. but not until after I was gone. If that is God's will. So let it be...</div>
<div>
As long as a cure is found...</div>

<br />
This last week really wore us out.<br />
<br />
I am home with shingles, and My wonderful wife Karen is home with a stomach Virus. She is miserable God bless her....<br />
<br />
Memories in the making is a great program it is everything it says it is. I was honored to have my painting up there. I was also honored to have had an artist chose mine and paint a painting to go with mine and donate it for the auction.<br />
<br />
The event was nice. I wish I had felt better so I could have enjoyed it more. But it was still nice. MY wife's company was there and some of our Friends from ALZ where there. My buddy Libby had her family there and they had their own big table. it was nice to see them all supporting her. She was the one that set up the paintings and asked for the video.. As far as I can tell, we are both in the same stage... Not enough time in the day... Things get away from us... We get started on a lot of things, but finishing things seems to be the challenge...<br />
Most days I get up with an agenda, then wonder where the heck the time went...<br />
one minute its 6 am, next minute its bedtime???<br />
Time, it not on my side, nor is gravity lol.. Gravity is EVIL...<br />
Some day's I almost think my mother is here as a polterguist and is moving stuff on me just to mess with my mind.<br />
this morning i went out to my truck to get my laptop bag.came inside and... where the heck's my laptop??<br />
on the drivers seat???<br />
That sort of thing happens more and more now..<br />
2 years ago I drove to midland one day, Odessa another, then San Angelo, then Wichita falls then Stevensville another.. now, if i am lucky, I might handle one trip to San Angelo a week... Although a few weeks ago I was going to San Angelo three days a week,, it wore me out fast...<br />
I start winding down about 2 now<br />
it used to be 5, then 4 then 3 now its 2<br />
of course I am not even sure I actually ever go to sleep...<br />
I lay there, but my mind never shuts up...<br />
I lay down, its 11pm, and BAM its 3:00 am and I have to get up and go to the restroom.. (old man bladder)..<br />
Then, of course, i use my phone to see so, I simply have to play my bubble games, which means now its 4am and the alarms are going off, now the dogs barking, the sheep start baaaaaaaing and its time to go feed the sheep and walk the dog.... Karen walks the Dog.. I feed the sheep...<br />
Karen gets up at the but crack of dawn every day except one.<br />
I never know what day that is going to be.. it is either Saturday, OR Sunday...<br />
So that means I wake up at the same time.<br />
that used to mean I had to get up and help make the bed, but these day's she lets me stay in bed. Shes a kinder gentler wife now :)<br />
<br />
Today she was up early, went to work.. Adn then ended up coming back home sick.<br />
I hate it when she is sick.<br />
I feel useless..<br />
I want to make her better...<br />
But I just have to leave her alone, because that's how she gets better.....<br />
That is NOT easy for me to do<br />
I am a doter... I want to wait on her head to toe,,, fluff her pillows get her food, message her feet, get her medicine feed her etc....<br />
Make her better ASAP!!!!<br />
But I don't know what to do so;<br />
I feel like a paper weight...<br />
<br />
I have about 6 gazillion things started so, I guess I better go try really hard to finish at least one of them lol...<br />
<br />
For my reader that said i never say I<br />
<br />
There ya go I said I a lot LOL<br />
<br />
First person, complied with..<br />
<br />
Love you all,<br />
Cause Jesus told me too.....<br />
And I love him, so I love you all too...<br />
YES YOU TOO!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
bye.........................................................................................click<br />

<br />
This is my painting that was matched by another artist with a much better painting for tonight's show. <br />
I know mine is nothing to look at, but at least it got a few bids, and got purchase.<br />
<br />
VIDEO UPDATE!<br />
<br />
OK, I think I will try to change the file into a movie file and post it here tomorrow<br />
<br />
I am so sorry for the inconvenience.<br />
<br />
I will put the one from the stepping out up first, then the corrected one, once it is corrected.<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone.<br />
<br />
Updated this to show the other painting...<br />

<br />
Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
Yes I am still alive!<br />
<br />
The walk this year was nice. I somehow survived lol. Thank you Everyone that came out and supported it. I would never be pretentious enough to think anyone other than my wonderful wife was there for me... However, I am still happy and grateful none the less...<br />
<br />
This year NO one put any money into my account other than myself and Karen..<br />
That was both a first and depressing.<br />
Next year I plan on doing things differently I guess.<br />
I will personally walk up to each and every one of you and get in your FACE, so be ready...<br />
If that means I have to get in my truck and drive to your house REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU LIVE, than so be it....<br />
If I have to track you down like an animal to get and answer from you, even if its drop dead Frank, than I will...<br />
Than I can eliminate you of my "so called" Friends list one by one...<br />
Does that sound harsh??<br />
perhaps??<br />
however, I look at it this way...<br />
For the past 50 years I have gone above and beyond to do my best to help every single person that I have come in contact with to the best of my abilities...<br />
I gave, and gave, and gave and gave and gave.. Never ever asking in return...<br />
now...<br />
its my turn...<br />
In the past three years alone I have emptied all my savings and retirement accounts and given away all our money to help other people and we lost the house KAren and I had saved money up to buy..<br />
Our dream home..<br />
We had already:<br />
Saved up the down payment,<br />
Filled out ALL the loan paperwork and been approved,<br />
Put down a deposit on a unit to hold it...<br />
Got an AWESOME unbelievable discount on a prefab building ( 49% off)<br />
we had already zoned the property into two lots<br />
already got the new address (1042 FM 613 Bar-T Ranch)<br />
already marked off the new spots, flagged it all , marked it with sticks and rope and spray pain...<br />
already made deposit for septic permit of 400.00 so I could install the septic myself ( outside city limits)<br />
already coordinated with water, A.E.P. power, Taylor telephone, trash, post office etc...<br />
all we had to do was drive down, hand them the rest of the cash down and sign paperwork, sign all the paperwork and start clearing the ground....<br />
We where in the process of deciding which contractor to hire to clear the treas, put in the driveway, help us put up the fences, put in the septic and plumbing ( was hoping Rick would help) lay the concrete foundation and driveway mix parking areas and move our storage buildings around..<br />
I had solar and wind energy plans started and a plan to get the well cleaned out so we could put in both a wind mill pump and an electric backup pump.. I already figured out the filtration and storage tank systems.. We have since located a good source for above ground and in ground tornado shelter/storm rooms and green houses...<br />
<br />
we where pretty much all ready to go and then BOOM<br />
<br />
First one, then two then.... well.... it is all gone now....<br />
<br />
I started working again , but I can only work one or two days a week right now until I can get back in the swing of things..<br />
<br />
After two strokes, it might take me a while to get back in the saddle again...<br />
<br />
Some day's I struggle to remember to separate the wondering thoughts so I can focus..<br />
time is still slipping away from me in the mornings, so I work mostly in the afternoon..<br />
I can make 100-300 in just a few hours so.... If I can get in a few days a week I should be able to get back on my feet in a few weeks to a month???<br />
<br />
I still find it amusing that, even with stage 4 alz, I am still so much farther ahead than most of the people around me??? I never considered myself that smart???? Yet it seems as if very few people can keep up with most of what I am thinking or saying... some can keep up with some of it.. but I have yet to meet anyone that can keep up with all of it....<br />
It is actually a bit lonely...<br />
I miss scorpion type environments..... Being around like minds was fun...<br />
<br />
But I do NOT like being controlled by the government and being told how to use my mind and what to use it for.....<br />
<br />
I am trying to get like mids together in January for a new Scorpion type group, BUT, it will be home based....<br />
<br />
Everyone will be based out of their home offices ( except me part of the time)....<br />
<br />
I am the free roamer for now...<br />
<br />
We might have satellite techs out there on site being our eyes later?? or install techs or whatever like Lexi....people that can go to the site and be our eyes...<br />
<br />
Lexi Is very, very good at on site work when she focuses on it..<br />
<br />
I pray that, whatever is wrong with me physically, is treatable enough, to get me back to work full time soon.<br />
<br />
I received a call today from Time insurance..<br />
They requested that I get serious about recruiting agents for individual medical sales and group medical sales because I am not the primary sales agent for Hendrix Medical Center?????<br />
CRAP!!! That JUST sunk in lol..<br />
<br />
OK, I better TRY to get some sleep lol...<br />
<br />
night all<br />
(PS: those of you that I Know ONLY as gamer, technical contracting work, via the theater or other "social outlet" and not personally as in person.. don't expect me to show up in person...." necessarily "... lol)<br />
<br />
May god bless you all, even those of you that have not been here for us... Love you unconditionally..<br />

<br />
<br />
I am ALIVE!!<br />
<br />
Hello out there in reality land<br />
It has been a VERY long time since I was in here.<br />
My trip down teh rabit whole has been interesting this last year.<br />
Two strokes and some other illnesses have distracted me as well.<br />
So,<br />
catch up time?<br />
(please excuse my typo's, if i try to fix all of them, i will lose my train of though to many times, and never get this done..) <br />
<br />
well, time is still getting away from me. more so I guess.<br />
I get up at 6:30-6:45 in the morning with my wife when she gets up to go to work.<br />
Then i either lay in bed and surf on my phone or my android tablet. or I get up and go to the office in the middle of the house.<br />
latley, the next thing I know the 11:00 ocklock alarm to go have lunch with Karen is going off, and I am trying to figure out where the time went.<br />
Concentration is not a good thing either.<br />
If i take my pills at nite and in th emorning and I eat rite and so forth I am.... OK... But I still srat to "fade out" after about 2 in the afternoon..<br />
the farther it gets past 2, the harder it is for me to concentrate, and the more tired I get.<br />
Getting distracted is easy. Reading complex technical directions is giving me migraines.<br />
Trying to work in the afternoon really wears me out.<br />
Things I have been doing for years seems so difficult now.<br />
I don't dare drive far at night.<br />
I dont dare drive away from the Abilene area alone...<br />
I can not seem to find a realiable assistant that will show up every day at 7am, so I guess it is retirement time..<br />
I can not get the respect I need from anyone that attempts to work for me, so I will not tolerate anything less..<br />
This is my lifes work<br />
I spent 40 years of my life building a reputation and a skill set and advanced experience level not to mention the report I have with all my clients. Some of the guys I used to work with in the field now own their own corperations and service companies , or manage portals that route work to techs and Engineers , so I am known world wide..<br />
. I'll be damned if I am going to let some young person come in here with a half kocked idea set, a little knowlege a little skill and destroy whats left of my 2 commpanies..<br />
I already lost 2 of my companies due to my ex and letting my good nature talk me into hireing people against my better judgment..<br />
I had to close them and open up under another name...<br />
My Clients know It is still me, but some of the end users did not want to associate with some of the techs I had been using, so I had to reorganise..<br />
then, over the past 6 years I have had more setbacks..<br />
so my dream of a legacy looks pretty much shot...<br />
<br />
I have good days and bad days with my alz<br />
good day's I almost forget I have it..<br />
bad days, I just want to stay in bed..<br />
I feel so stupid, and usless..<br />
I can not remember a thing..<br />
I am so embarassed..<br />
I can not concentrate, I can not read, can not write, can not type and some days I cant even speak properly.<br />
people talk to me and it is like Charlie brown... <br />
My poor wife gives me " The look"<br />
lately I am having difficulty swallowing<br />
I have had isssues with odd sudden dizzy spells off and on and occasionaly falling..<br />
The past 6 months i can not walk very far at all without getting completely worn out and having to sit, or lay down. out of beath and exhausted..<br />
I get confused sometimes... It has started to actually scare me..<br />
and lately I have to focus on seperating day dreams from reality<br />
I get to drifting off, and have to come back....<br />
<br />
Sleeping is difficult.. I am never actually sure when I am actually asleep... sometimes I wonder if I actually go to sleep, or just close my eyes...<br />
The other day, I was up for over 24 hours... now THAT day I knew I went to sleep, because when the phone rang, I could not move my arms or legs when i woke up...Dreaming while actually asleep can get interesting if Karen runs out of slow mag..<br />
Since I have PTSD, add ALZ and WOW I can have some interesting 3D technicolor exhaustive nightmares... I wake up soaking wet with sweat, freezing and my heart racing and pounding...<br />
I am still able to get out of it farely fast at this point...<br />
But, recovery seems to be taking longer now....<br />
I dread the day I get stuck in one of my daydreams...<br />
I live in fear of falling all theway down the rabbit whole, and not remembering my familly.<br />
I do not want to be a burdaen on anyone.<br />
I do not want to get violent..<br />
I am a large, strong, well trained combat vet.. As a child I was a boxer, I studied martial arts for over 30 years, was in the military 25. I grew up in the streets of New Jersey, and New York, so I know how to take person down...<br />
I would not want to hurt anyone...<br />
I have become extreemly close to my God these past 4 years, and am at peace with him.<br />
I pray I slip into alz peacfully and do not cause any heart-ships..<br />
I have this feeling Karen will be in there with me....<br />
she appears to be getting a few of the symptoms, and is in denyal..<br />
I love her so much, no words could explain...<br />
<br />
I find myself speaking in Russian when I am upset??<br />
no idea why..<br />
I am forgetting a lot of things except music..<br />
but U seem to have forgoten how to read music???<br />
I can tell you what the notes are.. but I can no longer ue the music sheets to play songs????<br />
I find that oddd considering I have been playing music since I was 4??<br />
of course I have not played an instrument using a music sheet since Germany in 1994.<br />
<br />
I SERIUOSLY miss a few odd things<br />
music<br />
acting<br />
singing<br />
dancing, both on stage, and at dance places like oplin.<br />
comedy, I used to love standing up and telling jokes and making people laugh..<br />
The opra<br />
The philharmonic<br />
<br />
FISHING<br />
<br />
and a few other things I don't want to start crying about..<br />
<br />
I am sorry i have been gone, but hey, I forgot... lol<br />
I'm back<br />
I'll put an alarm on my cell to get in here and type some more<br />
art walk is thursday nite<br />
<br />
THE walk to end Alzheimer s is the 20th I will be there with my wonderful wife Karen...<br />
It would be nice to see some mooolah in my walk account before then..<br />
But I dont imagine there will be any, unless I put it in there..<br />
We have been helping so many people over the past 2 years.<br />
Then, over the past 2 weeks, we where in a bind. NO one stepped up.<br />
Praise God some money showed up that a client owed me.<br />
otherwise it could have been bad...<br />
But that's OK, because now we know to stop helping those people, and perhaps focus our efforts elsewhere...<br />
<br />
I neeed to go through this blog and make notes<br />
I am suposed to have something written for the walk to presnt?? I guess?<br />
See you all there?? <br />
<br />

<br />
Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I am sorry that I have not been on in quite some time.<br />
I have been both busy and distracted.<br />
I renewed my insurance license and am also undergoing many many hospital tests do determine my brain status and cancer status as it where..<br />
I have more skin growns and head pain and concentration "issues".<br />
<br />Memory comes and goes apparently accordingly with my consumption of coconut oil, more oil,, better memories, less oil, less memories.....<br />
<br />
some days my brain fells like it is going to just shut down so i lat down and just rest and try to sleep..<br />
Some days I'm a sharp as a scalpel and others as dull as the leading edge of a basketball...<br />
<br />
Skin issues making me nervous, they found more polups in me and send them off for bopsi and i had a Brain mri last week and more doctors visits than I can keep up with.<br />
Thank God for Karen! I am so confused I am not sure where I am supposed to be or what I am supposed to be doing half the time..<br />
I keep thinking that i need to come up with a system, but never do...<br />
I used to have dailey planners and lists and so forth<br />
but now i can't seem to manage them, find them remember to use them or even remember if i have one lol<br />
Karen texts me.<br />
We have airset.com but she does not like using it for some reason?<br />
So i quit paying for it..<br />
It is only l;ike4.00 a month, and it send messages to my email and phone as often as we tell it too<br />
I have an android hone that I am finally able to use well.<br />
It was interesting figuring out all the things it can do..<br />
As a tech expert you would think i would have picked up on it sooner, but for some reason there are some things i can't pick up on for some rason<br />
anything apple for one think I have some kind of aversion to all things apple.. except apples themselves lol and apple pie and cobbler of course :)<br />
I guess since teh old Atari day's when they where " the enamy" It has carried over from 1980???<br />
don't like them wont use them only tried to repair them for about a year and quit..<br />
I had to hire richard to teach me how to even turn them on and use the stupid software to find anything , and then they changed it lol..<br />
so NO nothing apple for me Sorry Steve, rest your soul, you where a nice guy, but i don't like your stuff man...<br />
<br />
kind of like Xbox verses ps3, your either one or the other and seldom both...<br />
I NEVER would have bought anything Nintendo until I moved in with Karen, now we have every gaming system there is and at least two of each type ... except apples of course..<br />
I got the ps3 for me only to watch blue ray since it costs the same as a blue ray player at the time and now I game on it sometimes as well.. we all have a ps2 connected to our flat screen TV's and and Xbox of course, and Karen and I have ps3's. we all have some sort of hand held like psp,ds, 3d ds etc... or two or three, and kindles and android tablets and of course android phones..<br />
I don't use them all that much, but Karen is amazing to watch... Especially at our age... she games almost constantly from the time she wakes up until just before her head hits teh pillow... while we eat, while we watch TV.... it is truly amazing to watch, from time to time you can catch her playing her dragons on up toe 4 devices at teh same time!!! LOL<br />
I spend hours in here trying to read emails, trying to learn and trying to email.<br />
It takes so darn long to do any of the above..<br />
I try to game on my Xbox as it helps me relax and socialize with my Xbox friends, I am in a gaming clan and have over 100 friends that I game with (<a href="http://www.clanrttc.com/">www.clanrttc.com</a>).<br />
<br />
Well crap , lunch time gotta jet, got to take lunch to my awesome wife and then ill be back!!!!<br />
Filling out 10 pages of anoying questions for another specialist<br />
laters..<br />
<br />

Hello everyone,<br />
I pray everyone had a satisfactory Christmas. We tried our best here to have one. We ended up having to take two of us to the ER before the day was over, but everyone is OK..<br />
Kim left today. Lexi has been here for days and that is always nice even if she is sick. At least we get to see her. We all dressed up in Christmas cloths and wore silly musical hats, opened our presents had Christmas meals and so forth. Everyone seemed pleased with what they received and overall it was a pretty good day.<br />
Karen has not received her bonus yet, and my checks are late so we where not able to do everything we wanted to do. I guess we can just do it when the money finally arrives?<br />
We are all home sick today, Karen came home from work yesterday and got worse over night. I pray she gets better soon.<br />
I have an egd scheduled for the 14th of next month to continue in my diagnoses prognoses. I am still having issues swallowing and keeping anything in me. They did find abnormal cells during my cat scan.<br />
<br />
My muscles still lock up now and then and driving is still difficult but not impossible. Sun-downers is a bummer and it comes early some days.<br />
I wish i could just pull the cotten out of my head and move on...<br />
i have to find a way to get 30 semester hours in before the 5th of January, wish me luck lol.<br />
<br />
I am signing on with a couple insurance companies again and planning to open an insurance agency in Tuscola and Abilene after the first. wish me luck there as well..<br />
I have a site already up for Texas life and health <a href="http://franktoms.mymedicalquotes.com/HomePage.aspx" target="_blank">Frank Toms insurance agency click me!!</a><br />
I hope i can get back into that, it is alot less work and the pay is ok..<br />
I have not seen my daughter in a while .<br />
It is making me crazy. but God is helping me..<br />
I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season and the new year brings new and better things to all of us.<br />
I need to go lay down again.<br />
God bless you all<br />
Frank<br />

Dear Friend, </div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; margin: 10px 14px 0px 25px;">
A third donor
just stepped up with another year-end matching gift challenge! Abbe Sue
Rubin will donate $25,000 to the Alzheimer's Association if we can raise
that same amount online by December 31. I can't think of a better time
to <a href="http://act.alz.org/site/Donation2?16462.donation=form1&df_id=16462" style="color: #65378e;" target="_blank">make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association</a>. </div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; margin: 10px 14px 0px 25px;">
The generosity
doesn't stop there. A second donor just stepped up with another year-end
matching gift challenge! Both Tina and Karl Weber have been long-time
supporters of the Alzheimer's Association, and this year marks the THIRD
year in a row that they have graciously offered a matching gift
challenge.</div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; margin: 10px 14px 0px 25px;">
Abbe's passion
for fighting Alzheimer's disease led her to the Association's Western
and Central Washington State Chapter where she volunteers and serves as
the chapter board's treasurer. Her gift will support public policy
initiatives. </div>
<div style="color: #4f4f4f; margin: 10px 14px 0px 25px;">
A retired statistician, Abbe wants to change the trajectory of Alzheimer's alarming numbers:</div>
<ul style="color: #4f4f4f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Someone in America develops Alzheimer's every <strong>68 seconds</strong></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>More than 5 million</strong> Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and that number is growing rapidly </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><strong>One in eight</strong> Americans over the age of 65 has the disease</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Alzheimer's is the <strong>sixth-leading cause of death</strong> in the U.S. and the only cause of death among the top 10 that can't be prevented, cured or even slowed</li>
</ul>

Friend, there
are only four days left in 2012 to make a tax-deductible contribution –
and your donation can have twice the impact thanks to Abbe's gift. Don't
let the year end without taking a stand against Alzheimer's. <a href="http://act.alz.org/site/Donation2?16462.donation=form1&df_id=16462" style="color: #65378e;" target="_blank">Please give as generously as you can</a>.</div>

Thank you,</div>

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
One side effect of having this desease and writing a blog, is to remember, i have this blog lol....<br />
I dont have anyone reminding me, so i only write in it when it comes to mind so to speak...<br />
I receive alz newsletters from our local group that my wonderful wife and I are a member of and once a month from the national org news letter and as a former intern I get the Johns Hopkins news letter as well.<br />
Sometimes I wish i would have actually finished my dream of becoming an MD. All those years of studying and working weird shifts for nothing. But i did have a lot of wonderful experiences in there mixed up with depressing ones lol. I just don't have that professional detachment required.I get to close to patients and take everything too personal. When one of them does not make it i take it personally. That time they unplugged our patient in New Mexico was the last straw for me. He came in with respiratory distress, they made mistakes, punctured his lung, sent him into cardiac arrest, put him on life support then unplugged him when they could not find next of kin or insurance proof.. Only to have them arrive 12 hours later and sue the hospital.... I walked out and never went back... There where way to many incidents where i lost my temper and over reacted to things as well since i could not detach myself from the patients.. Specifically domestic violence. so, I guess it is a good thing i went on to fly airplanes instead lol and eventually branch out to all these other weird things i do.. A propensity for languages , communications, computer and networking seems to be a strong point as well as logistics for me. My pleasures are acting , singing , dancing, performing arts of any kind playing any musical instrument, entertaining , being on stage or in the movies has always been where i am in my realm. I also love online gaming, specifically first person shooters and role playing games. strategy games. I also enjoy solving mysteries. we watch every type of crime and mystery show there is and I can usually figure it out before the second commercial lol.. I love insurance because i understand it and why we need it.. my weakness is understanding why everyone does not have it and how people can say no???<br />
I have seen so many people suffer as a result of not having it and when they try so hard to justify why they dont have it all I hear is static..... it makes no sense to me...<br />
anyway...<br />
My health is not doing so well..<br />
I have had some sort of issue from my throat to my but for about three months now.<br />
I had my three year colonoscopy a hile back and have not been the same since...<br />
I don't know if he infected me or what? but i had to take 5 antibiotic pills a day for 15 days that made me dizzy and nauseous and made it hard to drive, no dairy and no alcohol for 15 days ad well. alcahol not that big a deal, but my god half of what i eat has dairy in it...<br />
well thatw over and now i had a CT scan and a bunch of blood work and so forth<br />
they found abnormal cells in my duodenum so its more tests after new year..<br />
I am at a loss since they where just in there a few months ago??<br />
anyway... I feel like I swallowed a gerbil..<br />
I seem to have constant diverticulitis and I.B.S. spastic colon, so that makes for interesting travel...<br />
I cant swallow diet coke my favorite drink now for some reason... I think it is the bubbles??? I think i'm allergic to my tooth glue?<br />
so old age and ad is not being nice to me lol.<br />
I ran out of my arracept today and I pray my doctor can get me some since tricare said it will take until January 4th for mine to get here...<br />
I love my Karen, but she forgets I have alz and expects me to call and order it when i run out. She said, i told you last week, i'm like, OK... um honey, I have Alzheimer s... remember?? that's what the medicine i ran out of is for... God bless her she is getting old too . She is so wonderful and I love her with all my heart. i had them put it on an auto refill today so that neither one of us will have to remember lol.<br />
<br />
The holiday's are coming. I can't help but wonder if this is my last Christmas that I will remember?? and even If i will remember it. I vaguely remember last Christmas..<br />
I have hated this season since I was 9.<br />
I was taken from my mother on my 9th birthday and did not see her for almost a year. that first Christmas i spent alone in an orphanage. No presents, no songs, nothing.. three hots and a cot... All the other children had paces to go but me. Every Christmas after that until i got to go home I received girls toys because my Catholic name was Francis not frank. and people did not know that Francis is a boy and Frances is a girl so i got made fun of and got dolls and dresses for Christmas every year.. then, in 1997 my mother died on Christmas eve three hours after people burned my bar to the ground..... so no i don't like Christmas very much to begin with..<br />
add the over commercialization over the past 20 years. now , every year we try to outdo the year before.<br />
Harry potter had a good example of that on one of their movies where the little fat brat complained about having less than he had the year before yadda yadda... it is supposed to be about Jesus not money...<br />
We spend too much money, put our self in horrible debt that we struggle to get out of for the rest of the year for what??<br />
Buying material things for people is NOT LOVE, it does not take the place of a hug, holding them and telling them you love them forgiving them their transgressions, sitting with them and listening to them praying for and with them. sharing the word and meaning it. I dont know what happened to this country.<br />
<br />
I pray i make another year on earth and know who I am.<br />
I pray i get to see my children again before I forget who they are and who I am.<br />
I pray I don't suffer a long painful death.<br />
I love unconditionally and wish someone could love me the same way.<br />
I miss relaxing<br />
I miss having a cup of hot tea every nite before bed and at 6pm English style tea time..<br />
I miss my mother beyond words.. we where a team,. frick and fack. Karen is so much like her perhaps i did marry my mother lol... they say men tend to seek out women that remind them of their mothers...<br />
every now and then Karen gives me that look, the o\look only my mother ever managed to give me lol...<br />
she shares her food the same way, and acts a lot like her she even likes the same food as my mom. kind of odd.. I did not know any of that when we met and fell in love, it all came out over the past 4 years.<br />
<br />
I am so happy the lord blessed us with her 10,000.00 worth of super duper hearing aids and blue tooth interface for her phone at work and her fancy android cell phone FREE of charge due to her work... you have to love free. The lord is truly merciful. We prayed and he answered Amen...<br />
I fell blessed to be accepted into her work book study program. They are like a family to me.<br />
All of my blood relatives with exception of one cousin and my youngest daughter are deceased.. And I have not seen my youngest daughter in over a year, so i need family bad..<br />
Lexi comes by now and then and spends time with me so that's good.<br />
Kim is Karen's sister and kind of a sister to me and Karen's best friend Sam is cool and treats me like family so I am not completely alone. My cousin <br />Jeanette that used to take care of me moved far away so i don't have her. I am sure that's why she introduced me to Karen to get out from under me lol<br />
Karen's mom and brother are precious, but they live so far away we don't get to see them but once or twice a year. the same goes for her sister Lila that we don't get to see but once or twice a year. our friends Rhonda and David moved to Canyon lake, but we get to see them every few months. My good Friend James lives in Pennsylvania and i have not seen him and his lovely wife since 1995... My friend Mike I only see every 6th or 7th d\saturday for lunch and my friend Trey has a new job. Tim is driving a truck three weeks at a time and moved to Albany to escape my ex wife's wrath lol.]<br />
So all in all it is mostly Karen and I. Which is a good thing I guess. Gives us time to bond. We enjoy each others company.<br />
my muscles are getting worse. I get tired earlier in teh day. driving is becmming more difficult and my temper seems to be getting worse.<br />
I have to pray more often to maintain composure. I want to scream and throw things and break stuff to relax, but i know it wont help so I just go online and blow stuff up and j\kill people virtually and let that satisfy my blood-lust... for now...<br />
Call of duty black ops and black ops II I am RTTC EGORE A fear me hear me roar, then die LOL<br />
We do pretty good most of the time.<br />
south American and Canadian servers usually lag which gives them a one to two second advantage and sometimes we can't keep up, but we can beet most teams and clans even with the laging ...<br />
WE don't cheat and don't mod but we do trash talk a lot,. most of the guys are handicapped/disabled in one way or another, many are military or prior military, combat trained so we can usually do well in a team environment three teams of two choking off the choke points and keeping the enemy pissed off lol.<br />
clanrttc.com<br />
anyway..... I need to get to work on my continuing education...<br />
I used to be able to crank out 30 semester hours in 3 days. now it will probably take me two weeeks , wish me luck!<br />
I am opening an insurance agency in Tuscola, either joining with the resident Progressive agent, or opening my own office after the first of the year.. If anyone needs life and health or annuities or burial final expense, come see me or visit my webpage,. <a href="http://franktoms.mymedicalquotes.com/HomePage.aspx">http://franktoms.mymedicalquotes.com/HomePage.aspx</a><br />
<br />
love you all, because God says I have to lol<br />

Eli
Lilly & Company has announced it plans additional study of
solanezumab, an experimental Alzheimer's drug that previously failed to
improve the condition of people with the disease. The company released
results of two clinical trials in August that showed the drug did not
significantly improve cognition or daily mental function of people with
mild and moderate Alzheimer's. However, when the results for people with
mild Alzheimer's were separated out, they showed the drug did slow
cognitive decline.<br />

people may sometimes focus on the gifts they'll receive for their
birthday. An 11-year-old Florida girl, whose great-grandmother has
Alzheimer's and lives in a nursing home, rejected gifts for her 12th
birthday and instead requested donations for senior citizens.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Despite efforts buy countless germs and stress and life ins general I am still alive..<br />
This past 8 days in particular I have been suffering something a lot like salmonella poisoning I suffered in the Philippians back in 1984.. <br />
I have not been able to stay very far from a bathroom since Monday week as the British would say...<br />
Since the elections work has come to a screeching halt. Confident in the economy is so bad the Industry appears to be in shock.<br />
The first time Obama won the information industry and tech stocks took a 60 percent loss over the first year, this time it took an80 percent drop. Stocks plummeted over 800 points as well. over 300 the first day...<br />
I know democrats think they now what they are doing, I just can't imagine how they thing that way????<br />
I pray each day that the nightmares I am having do not come to pass.<br />
Our grand children are all afraid Obama is going to force them all to have the chip implanted in their wrists and recognize that as the mark of the beast foretold in revelations. Odd thing is, we are not teaching them that.. I have no idea where it is coming from...<br />
I know with all the propaganda out there Obama is coming across as another Hitler. Even his Obama youth make gesture similar to that of the Hitler youth...<br />
I almost feel guilty for bringing children into this world only to face what is to come.<br />
I am almost praying that God brings me into the next stage of this horrific illness before it all gets that bad.<br />
Karen and I have already committed to the <b><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="color: #333333; cursor: default;">guillotine</span></span></b> should it come to that. We would rather die than accept the mark.<br />
OK enough politics and religion...<br />
<br />
I can feel my mind slipping away.<br />
Over the past month driving is getting to be a challenge. I really have to concentrate on the actual driving now. It is almost like when i was young and had to think about driving the entire time. As i got older ii drove almost instinctively , but now i have to focus very hard to stay in the lane and focus on where i am and where I am going. I seem to get that where am i feeling more often, but recover still. The GPS and mapping programs on me cell phone help tremendously as does my Airset.com program I use that sends text messages to my cell phone all day telling me where to be at certain times. I also have alarms set in my cell phone that tells me when to get ready to go someplace and even reminds me to take my medicine. Karen has them all set up in morning and evening and day of the week containers and i have a bottle I carry with me of pills i take 4 times a day when I eat. So at least i seldom miss my pills now...<br />
This past week was AWESOME because my Karen received her Hearing aids from God and she can hear. They cost almost 10,000.00 with the remote and all the accessories but was got them for FREE.. God set us up with an agency that took care of the costs Praise God.!! It made me cray and still does to see that huge smile on her face now that she can hear... She is having a much better time at work now and she is in much better spirits.. Only bad thing is, she does not need me to be her ears any longer :-(<br />
That is ok because as my brain continues to shrink i will be less and less of a help to her.in that capacity.<br />
<br />
I have noticed I am getting grumpier.. Small things set me off now. I have to concentrate to not get angered.<br />
Karen takes it personally if i raise my voice.... I don't know how to explain to her that i have Alzheimer's and PTSD and that i am amazed I am not screening all the time.. considering..<br />
I have been to therapy and counseling and to group so many times.. I have all the tool's and training to deal with the PTSD but..... The tools are designed for people that had one or two events... I had so many....<br />
some started before i went into the military and I spent 25 YEARS int eh military. and 4.5 years of that was combat. Not just combat support either, I have a lot of combat support as well. For some reason i found it necessary to volunteer for everything back then. I guess it was my unhappy marriages? I always pretended i was happy, but I was not.. No matter how hard I TRIED TO MAKE THEM HAPPY, THEY ALWAYS WANTED MORE.... So no, i was not happy.<br />
This caused me to volunteer for the longest most dangerous missions i could find. I volunteered to go to C-130's because my 6 years in C-5's never saw any REAL combat time other than getting shot at in Barbados and Panama. in 130's we seemed to be getting shot at a lot... LOL. I love the tac missions.<br />
The rush of the combat entry checklist, wearing all the gear the mission briefings the sounds of combat the stress levels the excitement ... It is hard to describe... I miss the well oiled machine of a well trained highly disciplined combat crew executing a precise mission refusing to let anything stop us, distract us from our mission.. on time on target. Weather it was beans, bombs, bullets, or band-aids, we dropped them, personnel, supplies,equipment, heavy equipment or Daisy cutters (LARGE BOMB) we delivered it! .<br />
Even the CDS drops from 15,000 feet, dropping double stick pallets into a football field from 15,000 feet perfectly into the dead center of a football field in the blind at night in the clouds while being fired on using modern AWADS equipment sucking on an oxygen mask in formation in the blind....<br />
One mission as we where RTB ( returning to base) our aircraft hit a storm while trying to avoid a ground to air missile battery our wings tail and nose cone quickly froze and was covered in ice and we immediately lost altitude. Our oxygen bottle froze and the overflow valve ruptured and we lost all our emergency O2. So we have to land in Italy on emergency and get repairs and some Liquid oxygen. The rush of all that was what made me love flying... The people where unique. Every person was unique and yet the same, We all shared the same pride that came from succeeding in a career that had an 89% failure rate through the school house.<br />
Becoming instructors and evaluators and receiving our top secret clearances and special mission qualifiers made us even more proud. The joy of traveling all over the world to places I never would have had the opportunity to see and meet people that i never would have dreamed of meeting. Experiencing so many cultures and thus learning to understand the world so much more than the average person in the US.<br />
I wish there was a way to take all Americans on a world tour to all the countries in the world. Have them live among the masses for short periods of time, live the life of these people so that they might appreciate how much we have here in our country.. Things we take for granted each day. We waist more each day than some people have in a week or even a month.<br />
Our house has a flat screen Tv in every bedroom in the house, xbox, ps3 dvrs satellite, psp, ds you name it, every room of the house, smart phones etc... everyone even the grand kids..<br />
Some countries i have been to... They would be thankful for water, electricity food... within reasonable walking distance, never-mind inside their shacks they call homes.. If they even have homes...<br />
<br />
I cant help but wonder what my fellow AD members are doing in those countries?<br />
Are they simply roaming the streets? Being abused?<br />
<br />
Yes i know I'm rambling, I seem to be doing that a lot lately..<br />
I miss my buddy Libby, I have not seen her and her husband in over a month, I pray she is OK..<br />
I always seem to be hungry, but when i try to eat, I cant eat much?<br />
my muscles seem to be failing as well and my balance is getting worse..<br />
I can fall asleep real easy, but cant stay that way for very long???<br />
reading is a chore...<br />
I wish work would pick up to keep my busy so i would not have time to thinka vbout how bad i feel LOL.<br />
<br />
I hope this finds you all well.<br />
Hope your thanksgiving was well.<br />
May The holy spirit visit you over teh holdays and bless you and your loved ones.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Crude but entertaining...<br />
<br />
I am sorry that i have not been on much.<br />
I guess i am being selfish.<br />
I wanted to spend as much time with Karen as possible since I appear to be getting worse at an alarming rate from time to time.<br />
However, i recently realized that typing in this blog helps both Karen and myself as well so, here goes.<br />
<br />
OK recently... My most significant changes are muscular and dream state i guess?<br />
My muscles seem to be failing rather quickly.<br />
MY brain feels like it is shrinking and I have a difficult time distinguishing between dreams and reality at late hours.<br />
I have to force myself to open my eyes when I feel like what I am seeing is more like an acid trip than reality.<br />
It makes it difficult to get a good nights sleep...<br />
I fall asleep sitting in the chair and sitting next to Karen on the bed watching TV every night.<br />
I have to wake up and rewind the dvr to get caught up.<br />
I know it frustrates Karen... But sometimes it helps her if she missed part of it do to not hearing it..<br />
<br />
Karen is getting her hearing aids in the 21st I am so excited !!!<br />
<br />
Work it at a stand still since the elections shocked the world<br />
I can only assume the IT world and MIS has stopped to take a breath in fear of things to come.<br />
All you Democrats don't understand, When Obama swore in 4 years ago, the next 12 months saw a 60% decline in IT contracts, resulting in up to 65% pay rate decreases and so many lost Jobs i have not been able to gt a reliable number...<br />
The days after the elections was the first time in over 10 YEARS that i have seen 0 jobs on the portal we use to bid on contracts. ..<br />
<br />
The stock exchange took a serious dive as people overseas got scared when they realized Obama won the election and the Europeans in particular panicked...<br />
<br />
I understand older people tend to stick with what their parents told them to do...<br />
But times have changed... This guy is evil incarnate...<br />
How anyone could look at him and not see it is beyond me....<br />
Gay marriage is a side issue with me..<br />
Separation of church and state, I believe a civil union is good for the health and welfare of the couples health and therefore a benefit to everyone, sick people being untreated because of their sexual orientation seems ludicrous... As is Taxing cigarettes in the name of religion.. ....said..<br />
<br />
Now abortion and all the other issues especially the economy and jobs is another story.<br />
forcing non christian rhetoric down our thought in a country founded on Christianity is ridiculous..<br />
I am a Jew that believes in Jesus as the messiah and am a rare breed...<br />
I respect others right to believe in what they want.<br />
But i understand this country is a christian country just like I understand Israel is Jewish and Palestine Islamic... I would not attempt to enter their countries and force my religious beliefs on them and expect them to take down all their religious icons, that would be ridiculous and probably get me killed... LOL<br />
<br />
This guy is a moron and ridiculous and I am amazed the Zombies of the democratic party don't see it..<br />
I never thought of all democrats as inherently STUPID, however I am open to change lol...<br />
<br />
I fear for our future and pray I can continue to provide for my family as a white senior citizen in the country..<br />
I did not chose my birthright either, I was born of the Toms family of Toms river new Jersey and descendant of uncle Toms cabin and even marched on city hall in the 60's singing we shall overcome only to get shot for being white .... I was very young and it left a mark on me I will never forget...<br />
I moved down south as son as the opportunity presented itself and halve not moved back since 1972...<br />
I visited, but not for long and I have been a republican moderate since I was 21.<br />
As a christian retired military small business owner i really have no choice.<br />
I am not a severe Republican Conservative. I actually have a few liberal ideas because of my international background, however I am not a Liberal... I guess i would be considered a moderate... Because I don't completely agree with anyone... lol<br />
I don't share the anal sexual ultra conservatism of the south,. nor do i agree with rampant sexual promiscuity...<br />
I believe there is a happy medium and deviation is in the mind of the viewer....<br />
I have been accused of being all types of perverted because small minds here don't grasp it..<br />
I can be friends with people without caring about what they do in the privacy of their homes...<br />
Sexual preference and orientation don't matter to me, just don't force it down my through or flaunt it regardless of what side of " the fence" your on. I can enjoy watching people without desiring them. A concept unfamiliar to many many southern people...<br />
I have always been an observer.... I learn by watching people...<br />
<br />
Anyway.....<br />
SQUIRRELS!!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
That picture is even more true this wee.<br />
It felt more like a month than a week.<br />
I started the week with a tickle in my throat and ended up feeling like i have the plague...<br />
I have a new care giver/helper. <br />
I think God sent her to me... I have known her for years, but did not really know her.<br />
She knows computers and Alzheimer's , so there ya go, perfect for the job of my caregiver and helper at work. She has over 8 years as a caregiver for and AD couple and she stayed with them to the end..<br />
I know I am going to have to stop working, probably sooner than I even want to think of.<br />
However, having her with me makes my have renewed joy and hope.<br />
I realize however, Had i not had her with me this past week, i might have ended up in the hospital, or worse.<br />
It culminated yesterday afternoon on the way back from a short trip to San Angelo.<br />
The contract was not a difficult one, either mentally or physically to speak of., I did have to make depressions and solve a few issues to make the best of the contract and satisfy both the buyer of the product, and the manufacturer of it that was paying me to get it all installed, set up and working.<br />
The end user decided he liked it so much he wanted to start using it.... NOW.. usually, they are told to train on it for a week before their second stage, advanced training they are given 7 days after we install it and set it up.... But he liked it so much he wanted to use it NOW... That meant, in two hours, when they normally opened, we had to train him, get all the changes made to the software to make up for any miscommunications that occurs normally from the time the person orders the equipment from the sales man till that day we actually deliver it.<br />
Small things like the managers private cell number on all the receipts given out to every customer to daily specials overlapping causing higher than desired discounts, making the customers happy, but not the owner... and they are OUR clients.<br />
I was fortunate that Crystal can be left alone to finish a task without being constantly supervised like so many other assistants I have had over the past 40 years. Watching them like a hawk makes the job just take that much longer...<br />
I spent one day this week without her since it was only in Abilene and Sweetwater, and i never finished the day.<br />
I was completely exhausted by the second of three sites I could not continue and had ran out of day...<br />
I had to reschedule for next month as i was spent...<br />
This week wore me out so bad I could not work today.<br />
It took everything i had to make it to town to have lunch with my wonderful Wife and Friend and Partner and caregiver Koren...<br />
I thank God for having sent her to me and my cranky cousin Jeanette for introducing us.<br />
My cousin and her husband are having difficulties with my disease especially since i have progressed so quickly this past year. I can;t seem to do the simplest thing these day's...<br />
I went for 7 years without seeing all that many changes and then this past year i have been hit by a train almost...<br />
I think stopping my medicine and then changes in life circumstances has sped things along...<br />
My entering and remaining in denial for three years did not help..<br />
<br />
This week my symptoms are getting worse.<br />
( walking is truly a challenge this week) (more on that in another post)<br />
Now i am having a more difficult time spelling.. I seem to want to spell in British English instead of American English??? I only actually lived there for three years, however, I have been traveling there for many years (* since 1975) And flew into there quite often while living in Germany for 5 years...<br />
I remember one year my 2nd wife and i went over after gulf war 1 for a week for R&R .<br />
WE stayed at Saint James court in west minster just a few blocks from The royal palace...<br />
I remember getting the awful headache while driving north to take her to see my old home in Bletchington.<br />
I could not imagine why my head hurt until the return drive to London...<br />
Apparently i was translating the British road signs into German and the into English while driving at 70 plus miles an hour and it was making my head hurt... LOL so i decided to stop doing that for the remainder of the week and my head felt fine. however, i just hope i didn't memorize all those words and now will always spell them in Her Majesty's English instead of good old American English lol<br />
Typing is ridiculous now as well. i have to stop about every 10 seconds and beg mister spell and grammar check to please decipher what i just chicken scratched.. i miss most of the word now and then and scramble the order as well.<br />
The last typing test I took was a few years ago and it was 160 words a minute at 98 percent accuracy.<br />
Last week i did one.. I am embarrassed to say.... my worst attempt was late in the day and was 11 words a minute at 50 percent, my best was 80 words a minute at 60 percent accuracy... That was around 10 am after four cups of coffee and some chocolate cupcakes (several) lol<br />
<br />
So, if i wait until late to type this blog, I'm pretty much screwed.<br />
This one today I started at 2,,,<br />
I think I'm going to start calling this decease, but first decease, lol...<br />
Karen gave me the idea today. She said i always have good intentions of getting things done, but first......<br />
<br />
OK my brain is shrinking i can feel it, so off for more coffee and chocolate so i can prepare for her to come home, my 4 alarms are going off to tell me I'm supposed to be doing something....<br />
Now, if i could just remember what it is lol...<br />
Love you all!!!!<br />
Please be patient with me, I am doing the best I can...</div>

As
one of the plaintiffs in the federal class action lawsuit Jimmo v.
Sebelius, which challenged the Medicare Improvement Standard, the
Alzheimer's Association applauds the recently announced proposed
settlement. Under the settlement agreement, Medicare will pay for
rehabilitative services, such as physical, speech and occupational
therapy, if they maintain an individual's current condition or prevent
or slow further deterioration and require the skills of a professional.
Rehabilitative services are beneficial to helping people with
Alzheimer's maintain their current function.<br />

Award-winning
producer and director James Keach is making a documentary about
singer-songwriter Glen Campbell's battle with Alzheimer's disease. But
it isn't solely Keach's experience with Campbell that has inspired a
commitment to the fight against Alzheimer's — Keach and his wife, Jane
Seymour, also have a personal connection to the disease.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>Introducing <br /><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders Bulletin:</i></b></span></h3>
<span style="color: red;"><b>A quarterly in-depth report on the latest scientific
breakthroughs, research findings, and medical discoveries for
safeguarding your brain against aging and memory loss.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /><b><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders Bulletin</i></b></span>
<span style="color: red;">
is the latest in a
series of Johns Hopkins publications focused on providing in-depth,
up-to-the-minute coverage of important health issues for those whose
family histories or personal health objectives may require an extremely
thorough, knowledgeable, and scientifically accurate presentation of
current information related to a specific medical topic. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">As Medical Editor of <i><b>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin</b></i>, it's my privilege to invite you to accept a
risk-FREE subscription to this groundbreaking publication. Frankly, much
of the information presented in the Bulletin has been the exclusive
province of medical professionals -- until now.</span><br />
<h3 class="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>Who will benefit
from a
subscription to <br />The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin?</b></span></h3>
<span style="color: red;">If you're approaching your forties or older... if you have any
history of Alzheimer's disease or related illnesses in your family... if
a loved one or family member is presently facing or undergoing treatment
for dementia... if you're concerned because you've experienced recurring
"senior moments"... or if you're simply determined to maintain top
mental acuity well into your later years, you'll find the
<b><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders Bulletin</i></b> an
indispensable adjunct to your health care regimen.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">As medical editor of the <b><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory
Disorders Bulletin</i></b>, working with renowned specialists in
the field at one of the world's most respected medical research centers,
I enjoy a privileged perspective on effective new therapies, emerging
breakthroughs, and newly-discovered preventive measures for those at
risk for brain-related health challenges, or undergoing treatment for
them. Unfortunately, this vital information is simply not readily
available to the average medical consumer. Even many physicians may not
have ready access to up-to-the-minute research in this highly
specialized field.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders Bulletin</i></b>
will alert you to new
therapeutic options before they're announced to the general public...
upcoming clinical trials in which you or a loved one may be able to
participate... revealing research on nutrition, supplementation,
lifestyle influences, and diagnostic tools -- plus the latest news from
medical conferences around the world. In addition, our distinguished
panel of experts will provide detailed answers to subscribers' most
pressing questions and concerns. Each and every issue will present
in-depth reports with a single-minded focus on the preservation of your
health and quality of life - yet free of esoteric medical jargon, so you
can clearly understand the practical implications for you and your
family. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">As a subscriber to <b><i>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin</i></b>,
you'll enjoy access to a wealth of life-changing information. For
instance, you'll find out about:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;">A commonly-prescribed cholesterol-lowering medication now being
investigated as a possible therapeutic option for people with memory
disorders. It's just one of the drugs currently prescribed for other
ailments now undergoing clinical trials as "memory drugs" -- including
two popular over-the-counter pain relievers.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Three vitally important vitamins for anyone concerned about memory
loss. Taken in combination, they reduce the levels of an amino acid in
your body now thought to influence the onset of dementia.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Recent studies of an ordinary kitchen spice that indicated a
surprising reduction in the levels of Alzheimer's-like plaque in the
brains of mice -- even with very low doses. New tests suggest this same
spice may also stifle cancer.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Why you shouldn't waste your money on expensive Alzheimer's
screening tests -- especially the ones promoted on the Internet.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">A new category of medication that can bring about a dramatic
improvement in cognitive function in many Alzheimer's patients.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The latest news about a drug called Ebixa -- already in use in
Germany for 10 years but not yet approved in the U.S. It's the first
therapy ever considered by the FDA as a treatment for moderate-to-severe
Alzheimer's disease -- and the only drug to show positive Phase III
results in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease when used in combination
with another approved prescription product. Vital information.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The good news about drinking. Studies show that moderate drinking
has a protective effect against dementia. Get complete details in
<i><b>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin</b></i>.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Top-rated support resources for caregivers. If you're caring for a
loved one with Alzheimer's disease, you already know how important a
support network can be. Our experts recommend the best current options,
along with phone numbers and Web addresses.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">A readily available nutritional supplement that can help safeguard
your memory for just pennies a day. If it's not part of your health care
regimen, now is the time to add it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Why certain ethnic groups have a higher propensity for dementia --
and important lifestyle changes that can lower the risk.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The importance of BDNF (brain-derived neuropathic factor) in
reducing your risk of dementia -- and how to increase your levels of
this memory-boosting protein simply and easily.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The promises and pitfalls of the newly announced Alzheimer's
vaccine.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The astonishing link between education level and your risk of

<li><span style="color: red;">Fascinating new findings about the influence of co-enzyme NADH in
stimulating mental capacity.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Is it Alzheimer's disease? Ten warning signs to watch out for. If
you observe them in yourself or a loved one, seek medical help
immediately. <i><b>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin</b></i> spells each of them out in detail.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">New findings about health risks facing caregivers. People who care
for a spouse suffering from dementia may develop impaired immune
systems. Find out what to look out for -- and what to do about it -- in
<i><b>The Johns Hopkins Memory Disorders
Bulletin</b></i>.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">How your daily activities, hobbies, and interests are an excellent
predictor of your likelihood to develop dementia within the next five
years.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The best ways to build up a "brain reserve" to help increase your
resistance to neuro-degenerative diseases of the brain.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">A $100 investment that could be your best protection against
Alzheimer's. An item easily found in sporting goods stores might be the
smartest health investment you ever made.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Why your walking speed may be one of the best indicators of your
risk for memory loss. Find out how to test yourself -- and lower your
risk for dementia.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">The disturbing relationship between high blood pressure in mid-life
and Alzheimer's disease -- and what you can do about it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Three unexpected factors that can dramatically decrease your risk
for dementia according to a Swedish study. People who had only one or
none of these combined factors had a 60% greater risk for developing
dementia than people who had two or three working in their favor.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">How testosterone therapy improves memory in older men according to a
recent study -- suggesting a possible link between declining hormone
levels and memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">Simple strategies for choosing the right nursing home -- including

Yes I am alive.<br />
It would appear that i pushed myself too hard last week. I paid for it all weekend and this morning.<br />
i also got my flu shot Friday and of course it made me sick all weekend...<br />
I have not had the wherewithal to even begin to type utill today/<br />
I had an awesome visit from my friend trey this weekend and it raised my spirits. <br />
My best friends Family suffered the loss of a loved one last week, and i was not healthy enough to make the trip to show my respects, this plunged me into depression.<br />
We have been friends for fourty years now and they are more like my family then friends...<br />
The good new is I had a new care giver that was also helping me with work.<br />
She has 8 years experience with AD and was instrumental in my getting work done last week...<br />
It is getting VERY difficult for me to do some jobs, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up?<br />
I get people calling me all day all week long because they can't find anyone dedicated like I am or determined. It would appear that other techs and field engineers in this area only want to do the minimum and then just split????<br />
What ever happened to integrity and self pride?<br />
I like the work most of the time.<br />
some days i just want to go back to bed.. OK most days LOL<br />
The pain is worse over the last week.<br />
I had no tramidol for about 4 days and can't seem to get caught up on anything <br />
I managed to finally make a support group meeting, but only the second half..<br />
I must admit seeing others further down the rabbit whole depresses me..<br />
First because i care about them and second because it makes me self actualize my future..<br />
I hate to say my mom hot spared most of this because cancer took her before she got past stage 5...<br />
But somehow it seems God gave her a break.<br />
She was fine on Friday, went to er on Sunday and died on Wednesday Christmas eve....<br />
I dislike the holidays even more now.<br />
Originally because of the commercialism of it all, each year we plunge ourselves deeper and deeper in debt because we have to buy love from our friends and family via gifting,.<br />
If Johnie next door gets a better present then his family MUST love hm more<br />
Bull pucky....<br />
We have forgotten what it is all really about... So it depresses me more...<br />
My wonderful wife has been awesome about taking care of me and putting up with me..,<br />
My new caregiver assistant Crystal is also taking good care of me.<br />
I hope some check's come in and clear soon so i can pay everyone..<br />
I am going to have to take them someplace to cash them now that my bank holds all checks going into my businesses accounts for up to 10 days.....<br />
ACH deposits seem to be taking a lot longer now s well.They used to only take 2 days, now they can take up to five.My ability to sit this long and type is also diminishing,..<br />
It wears me out mentally and physically. especially with all my spelling and programmer errors.<br />
Thank God for spell check LOL...<br />
I am getting tired, so il stop for today.<br />
If you love someone, tell them NOW they or you may not be here tomorow...<br />
And then you will spend the rest of your life wishing you had..<br />
<br />
God bless you allEgore Aka Frankhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18045648659888654153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563925397386943311.post-83458906532391041412012-10-08T07:45:00.001-07:002012-10-08T07:45:17.228-07:00Just another MANIC monday<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Morning everyone,<br />
I am still alive.<br />
It has been a long weekend...<br />
We did the heart walk on Saturday, we only managed half of it.<br />
Karen's hip and my heart could not do the second half...<br />
I was limping the whole time with my new muscle cramps and pain in my legs.<br />
I am out of my <a href="http://arthritis.about.com/od/ultram/a/tramadol.htm" target="_blank">Tramidol</a>, apparently I lost a bottle someplace, so i cant get a refill until the 14th?<br />
i have not had any for ell over week so i am in bad shape.<br />
Add to that whatever bug i seemed to have picked up and the new muscles not working and my depression seems to be out of control.<br />
I cry at the drop of hat now?<br />
I seem to let everything upset me no mater how small or insignificant...<br />
my right arm stays swollen, sometimes i have to take off all the bracelets from all the walks and functions we have been on because they cut off my circulation and feeling in my right hand. <br />
I started gaming again on my Xbox 360.<br />
Bought a larger hard rive for it and it took me all day to transfer files from the old one, used to only take about an hour...<br />
I had some young punk on there giving me grief trying to tell me wat to do and I lost it.<br />
What is wrong with these young punks today thinking they can say whatever they want to us older people?<br />
Calling me childish names and trying to order me around like he knows me and thinks he has some right???<br />
I was in the military 25 years, one thing they learned, Frank does NOT take orders , he gives them...<br />
Even our wing commander made suggestions to me knowing full well i would do anything he asked...<br />
I am concerned about all these grown people living off us old people.<br />
What the hell are they going to do when we die?<br />
WE pay the bills buy and cook the food etc...<br />
When we died, our homes are going to be lost to someone because our children are lazy , co dependent, and immature..<br />
Nothing is EVER their fault and no one understands them...??<br />
I expect that from a 13 year old; not 30-40 year old's and even one 50 year old that tried to subcontract for me for a short time.<br />
<br />
Our children are in a sad state, who will take care of them when they get old?? no one.. apathy will have taken over ad old people will freeze to death starve to death and die of loneliness, and it will be them, our children that will be old. Their children are even lazier and have more excuse than our children have..<br />
NO respect, no honor, no integrity... And violence and sex on TV is normal now.<br />
When we where kids you could not even say shit hell or damn on TV at any time or you faced jail time and hefty fines..<br />
Now they say just about anything and do just about anything and just put an advisory up...<br />
90 percent of the children in this country dont have anyone watching what they watch to monitor it.<br />
Th are now provisions on satellite to regulate what they watch on each TV, but few parents lock their own TVs so kids will do what kids do; find a way...<br />
I feel sorry for them all.. t<br />
their future is truly bleak..<br />
OK enough soupboxing lol..<br />
I have to try to see if i can figure out who I owe money to and if I can figure out the best way to get it to them...<br />
God bless you all...<br />
<br />
