Alzheimers

I'm working on my Alzheimers project and I came across this......I didn't know and thought it was interesting.

•       In 1986, President Ronald Reagan's "I don't remember," "I don't recall" responses seemed to many to be lame answers to questions about political dealings. However, it turns out that they may have been the truth. In 1994, former President Ronald Reagan announced that he had Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Alzheimer’s and society 

•        Educational content derived from social media insights promotes effective dialogue between patients, care partners, and the healthcare team. In turn, this may increase awareness and understanding of barriers for patients and care partners, and help them work with their healthcare team to make informed treatment decisions. Our analysis demonstrates the value of online listening and its potential for improving treatment outcomes. Online communities are an inexpensive source of untapped patient and care partner insights in discussions driven by patients and care partners themselves, versus an outside source. HealthEd found that this unstructured space can uncover unique barriers that can drive potential innovation and add another layer to existing findings from structured research. And the insights are available for analysis immediately.

NASA....Ummmm....YES, Please!!

A) I have 2 tests tomorrow and I'm taking my mom's dog to the vet, not my dog, my mom's........hmmmmmmmmm........I need to learn how to say NOOOO!!!

B) You came through on your promise JT!  I got my pics from NASA.....Thank you :).  I have zero interest in aircraft engineering or being an astronaut but I've always wanted to go to the facility and run around!!  :).

Block it out and FOCUS

Tips......

• Don't acknowledge it
• Don't approach it in any way shape or form
• Don't attempt to understand it
• Don't feed it
• Definitely make zero attempt to interact with it
• Block it from being able to infiltrate your psyche in anyway
• Just observe the crazy from a "higher" vantage point :).

Thoughts......

1. Just when you think you have someone figured out they will throw you for a loop.  It should be fun to train this sunday.
2. I can do all that is placed before me.
3. While getting great grades and having nice abs are great attributes for me to possess, no one is going to remember those things affecting their lives....NOPE.....What people will remember is how I made them feel, the funny, kind, crazy things I went out of my way to do for them.  So mental note.....Bigger picture miss thaaannngggg :).
4. Find someone to run with.....find someone who is as committed to running as you are.
5. Book your flight to florida already!!!!  Seriously!!!!  You go from 60 to 0 in March.....
6. Patience is not a strong attribute of mine but I fully intend to make it one of my strongest in the next few years.
7. Perspective.......... live it, breath it, eat it, sleep it, cuddle it, praise it, develop it, tuck it in at night.
8. No one should die alone.....NO ONE!!  Whatever comfort I can offer someone, I will give 110% of that comfort.

........Avoiding outlining........

Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. Things are uncertain. And there’s no turning back. The world around you is different now. Unrecognizable. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You’re stuck. The future’s staring you in the face. And you’re not sure you like what you see. Like I said, I’m not big into change.

I know you don't understand me.....I don't understand me.

I'm laughing, just not externally.

I can't keep doing this alone.

I make NO apologies for how I chose to fix what you broke.  You dont get to call me a whore.

It’s one of those things people say. ‘You can’t move on until you let go of the past.’ Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.

You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advicers, but in the end, the decision is always yours and yours alone. And when it’s time to act and you are all alone with your back against the wall… The only voice that matters is the one in your head, the one telling you what you already probably knew. The one that’s almost always right.

When do you throw in the towel? Admit that a lost cause is sometimes just that? There comes a point when it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all.
