Just checking in, and I am so sorry I have been MIA for such a long time.
Many changes in my life due to the Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease, one of them the loss of my job.
My job as a respiratory therapist was my "comfort zone". I loved taking care of my patients, making them breathe easier and helping them with pulmonary rehab, smoking cessation, asthma treatment, saving lives in the ER.
Now all that is gone, because of this crappy disease I have inherited.
I want to go home to Germany and live out the rest of my days at home, but I am already at Stage II and Monday morning I go for more neuro-psych testing to see if my AD has worsened.
I am trying my best to keep the "British Stiff Upper Lip", but sometimes it is all I can do to drag my lazy Arsch out of bed.
Don't know if I have told you, but I do manage to maintain a blog. It is at www.wheretobud.blogspot.com if you'd like to check in sometime and see what I'm doing?
Please remember that if you click on that ad box, 1 penny goes to Alzheimer's Research and one penny goes to my local humane society.
These days, the first words of anything I say always seem to be "I'm sorry!"
Ich bedanke mich sehr, sehr, sehr!
Bill
