With the recent approval of Aduhelm (aducanumab), all be it with some level of controversy, can we feel any better about a pending break through based on discoveries made during the development of the drug. It appears that the science is pretty well settled on the or at least a major component of the disease is related to amyloid beta plaque build up or present's in the brain. What is un clear...

Things Are Going Well

Today Sunday, 11th. I’m becoming increasingly more confident that the preventive measures I am undertaking are having an impact in general. My health is as good as has it has been in 25 years. My strength as good as ever and I feel mentally really sharp. I believe that physical training is a key component of the overall ability to limit the impact of Alzheimer’s, and along with a good (but...

Happy Birthday America

Good morning and Happy 4th of July!!! It has been a while since posting and I apologize for my tardiness. I seem to be doing well, happy with how I feel, not overtly concerned about any specific incident, but there have been a couple of things that caused me to take pause and while did not result in any terrible consequence they could have. The most glaring is on a recent trip to a ball game I...

Nothing new to report

I’m trying to be more consistent with posting and tracking events which I believe will be helpful but there are fewer events than I had anticipated. I do not want to “force” a discussion or fudge and event to give the appearance of relevance. As it stands I feel much better about my cognitive well being and there have not been any significant events of the past few weeks. There has been...

So I said maybe we should go for lunch there the following day early in th afternoon the next day. Specifically around 2:00PM. So the next day rolls around, (yesterday 3/04) and I play golf in the morning, get...

There goes my soul patch!!

Well, so this morning I’m doing my personal hygiene and had a lot on my mind. If you have seen my picture in the About me section of this site you may have noticed that I have a little patch of hair below my bottom lip, well, used to, without batting an eye of it came! So is this loss of cognitive ability or just in a rush?

Where’s My Phone?????????

So how many of us have forgotten our phone, or left it at the store, or in the car, and subsequently had a meltdown. Is it a "sign" I don't know but day before yesterday was a complete wreck. First I bought a piece of equipment for my fish tank, got home, and it was missing several parts. Went back, they didn't have another one, so that started the trane leaving the tracks. Then I went to get...

Time to Start Inputs

Now that I have worked out most of the bugs, I'm going to start inputting some actual events (the primary purpose to the site). I'll start with something that happened the other day. My wife Debbie and I were watching a new show on TV, (can't remember the name, that's a problem). The main character is a young lady who was in another sitcom and I was trying to remember the name of that show. I...
