You Will Have To Be Patient with Me

[gamzultovah]

Here she is. Really nice person.

Well, your eyesight is excellent! Put a check in the plus column!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Hoosierpipeguy you will be getting your goodies when you visit. I know you won't be as big a dick to my face as you would on line. You'll have a little pity on me in person.

Are you sure about that? LOL I was thinking I give you lots of more crap in person than I do online. Now that I've had the virus, you can safely have me visit. Right? I'll be down the second week of November until April or May, better get used to me buddy.

Harris, I don't remember you repeating yourself, but maybe that's me.

 

[cigrmaster]

If I wasn't aware of your diagnosis before today, I apologize. And I am sorry to hear that. I hope you have lots of support going forward. You certainly can mention how you are doing in this place. BTW, "Close to the Edge" is the first record I ever heard that wasn't part of my Dad's collection and it's still a favorite of mine.

Close to the Edge is my favorite song and album from Yes. It is also my favorite tattoo.

It will be a blast getting together in person. The internet just doesn't convey my favorite words I use on you. I have to be on good behavior here.

You're fine Harris, it's always fun to read your posts multiple times.?

 

[snagstangl]

Sorry to hear that news, but a diagnosis that gives you something to blame when you forget shit, its not all bad.
As far as I can tell plenty of others double post stuff all the time, so you must not be alone, just the person being up front about what is going on.

 

[J.GANDY]

I've read no less than 300 threads about tempers and Ball jars on this forum. Myself and I'm sure no one else minds seeing your multi-post. Keep'em coming!

 

[hawky454]

Dude, don’t sweat it. For every time you post the same story, someone is reading it for the first time. I think I did read that you take benzodiazepines though... gotta watch out for that shite! That stuff will totally fuck with your memory and it’s hella hard to get off of. But it may totally be necessary, so I’m not judging, it’s just that a lot of doctors fail to warn you about these kinds of things.

Here she is. Really nice person.

At this point her manner is irrelevant.

The most fun I ever had was with my mother-in-law visiting Asheville. She had full blow Alzheimers, and Mrs. Cosmic would just let it eat her up if her mother said something that wasn't true, or she was all the time trying to correct her if she was wrong.
So, we were setting outside a little cafe, eating some brunch, and her mother kept pointing to a gallery across the street saying, "why don't we go there next," and Mrs Cosmic would just try to explain that we had just come from there." Well, this happened about three times, so I saw here getting ready to point and say it again. So, I jumped up and said, "why won't you ever let us go in that store over there?" Mrs. Cosmic looked dumbfounded, but her mother said, "Hell yeh, why won't you?" It was a great day. We really bonded.
And, she kept picking up a box of something my wife had just bought for her mother, and "she'd say, is this for me?" And, my wife would try her best to explain, again and again and again. So, I started handing her mother the box every ten minutes or so, and saying, "Here Moma, I bought this just for you." And, it would just make her so happy.
I was always her favorite...

Touchingly and twistedly and delightfully absurd.

What can I say but awesome.

Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

keep posting.. enjoy your life, and don't worry.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Who cares if she’s a nice person. She already made me forget why I’m here.

Very nice. Love to see "more" of her, if you get my drift....

Reminds me of a time when I completely rearranged a blind girlfriend's appartment.

You’re redundancy may help some of us who are similarly afflicted. It’s ...

Damn. What was the original post about again?

 

[Country Bladesmith]

Harris, I usually get a kick out of your posts, so I probably wouldn’t mind reading them more than once. ?
That being said, I haven't seen you post anything repetitively. ?‍
If we do, we’ll all line up with a stick and hit your old saggy balls like a piñata at a kid’s birthday party. ?
In all seriousness, I think you’re faking this shit so you can get more one-on-one time with that cute doctor.

Actually, the doctor ended up siding with me on how I treated my mother-in-law. Constantly arguing with and further confusing someone with Alzheimer is not productive, and can be detrimental. They are usually looking for affirmation.
For example, when her mother finally went into a group home, there was an elderly lady there that was constantly pulling up her shirt and showing off her... breasts. Everyone was getting angry with her and yelling. But, when she did it to my wife and I, I just said, "hey hey hey, nice." And, she pulled it back down and smiled. No conflict.

Trying to make someone remember you or even remember where they are is damaged electrical passages, not meanness, and "making" them remember, doesn't help them at all.

This is why I told my kids to just chip me, so they can track me... and I can enjoy just being lost wherever I am. Caging someone, or "getting on to them" doesn't work for this disease. And, if my wife hits me across the nose with a rolled up newspaper one more damn time, I'm going to bite her.

I was just on another site and saw where I had posted the same story three times. A few of you know but I have been diagnosed with early onset dementia. It is very frustrating as I can remember some things from 50 years ago, but remembering the last couple of days is what sucks. I know I will post the same thing more than once here so just tell me Harris, you already said that stop boring us with that shit. Trust me I won't mind and it will get to the point the quickest way.

If any mods see these double posts please just delete one, I may ask about it , but just say double post shit for brains and that will also work.
My neurologist told me I have this because I was so smart for so long, no human can be expected to keep a memory like that. Ok she really didn't say that but she it a hottie, that I remember.

I think we all do that honestly. I know I certainly keep saying the same things over and over. Trust me if anyone minded they'd have already left the forum ages ago. At least that's one thing you don't have to worry about here, we like talking about the same things over and over again. It's comforting to us.
As long as you can enjoy the company of an intelligent talented hottie that's one thing you've got going for you too.
