Going to see my doctor this Friday, Lord Willing.Have you seen a doctor? [I have no medical training at all] are you on blood pressure medicine? any medications that end in "STATIN"...see a specialist, a really good one and figure out a way to not be alone anymore.It is sad to think I might not be able to work soon. I love my job, and the people I work with. The pay is great, more than I deserve, but it is the feeling of being useful and productive I enjoy the most.
That might be coming to an end now.
The problem is my memory. I keep forgetting the simplest stuff, even my kids names.
I was in the company cafeteria a few months ago and forgot where I was. For a few seconds I thought I was in my old high school cafeteria, but I knew that was impossible. Then I put it together where I was and my memories came back about why I was there and where etc.
And it is getting worse.
I am afraid to go anywhere and have worse episodes. What if I totally forget and have a case of amnesia or something?
Anyway, I am starting to think it may be time to mosey on into that pasture where the green grass grows.
And I dont feel happy about it at all.
And yes, I am taking Statins.
