I Think I Face the End of My Career

[Moonglow]

I saw Joe Namath on Howard Stern the other day talking about how a hyperbaric oxygen chamber reversed his brain injuries. That's an anecdotal grain of salt sort of thing - but might be worth a listen Jim.

Increasing the oxygen supply to the brain is pivotal in healing it or any other injury. Researchers found rosemary essential oil improved cognition in ALZ patients. A lung specialist that visited me in the hospital told me that I would be stuck with the injuries to my lungs permanently as there is no way they would ever come back. He went as far as to bet me on it. (I should have asked what was he betting for exactly) Anyhow they checked my blood oxygen levels continually because it was so low in the hospital. After getting home I used a cold vaporizer with rosemary essential oil in the water for several months as I knew it along with ginger and chlorophyll helped me. The lung doc made an appointment for me to see him. He was in a bit of a shock when my blood oxygen level came back normal. I can understand why a hyperbaric oxygen chamber would help. A doctor friend has been wanting me to come down to Texas for she can try hers out on me and see if she can get some of the lung capacity lost due to the chemical spill back for me.

This is why its imperative for continuing education for people in health care.

I know more about blood-work and nutrition than my damn primary does. Im going to look for a youngin' as a new primary soon.

At my age they are all younger...I did get a hot red head for a GP at the VA this time...I do need to make another appointment...

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.

Sorry to hear of this. I was 52 when I had to give up masonry contracting I have disk degeneration disease and my vertebrae is collapsing on me spinal cord...So it's back to electronics or writing...Electronics is at least an honest living.

Jim - I'm very sorry for your situation. I hope you find happiness. boe

Dude, don’t give up hope. See a doctor. I wish you peace and happiness

Make sure you man-groom, stud

That's pretty harsh, Jim. Like others, I recommend both seeing your doctor and doing mind puzzles. I had to quit teaching because I'd be mid-lecture and it would be like a big air bubble would pop and blow everything out of my mind. I'd stand there blank for a few moments. Good thing I had my PowerPoint on the screen on my podium. But brain puzzles do help.

How horrible! Put together a medical team now while you can. You are so young!

You talkin to me, you whipper-snapper?

 

[Harry Dresden]

You say you lover your job. Let me ask you this: would you do it for free?

If not, maybe it's time to hang it up.

I've been retired since 2001 and they've been the beat years of my life by far.

Your proofreading skills have not improved.

yea but he can sure clean a sink....

 

[JimBowie1958]

I thought you were the one who was "washing dishes" after being laid off during the never ending recession? Is that why you were in the Cafeteria?


Do you remember the bet you lost to me? LOL! Lighten up. You may forget bad stuff from your past. No more guilt.

That's it, take advantage of a senile old fart like me, way to go, dude!

lol

G.T.

I read what you posted, and most of it was not definitive. There was a lot of “could,” “may,” and other qualifying language. That doesn’t mean you’re wrong. But the studies you posted appear to be more suggestive than conclusive.

I also am highly skeptical of qualifying studies critical of whole grains. Refined grains, absolutely. But given that humans have been consuming whole grains for something like 10,000 years, I’d be very hesitant to say with a high degree of certainty that whole grains are unhealthy without rock solid evidence.

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.

Going to see my doctor this Friday, Lord Willing.

And yes, I am taking Statins.

That is the best first step. .there are so many things that can affect memory, including stress, depression, and lack of sleep.
