Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2007I could use an assistant
Hi all, I could use an assistant with the card list if anyone would like to do it. Basically I need help with someone prompting me about people that need cards because they had surgery or not doing good. Also I need someone to prompt me to send out the cards on time. I am getting so forgetful lately. Anyone up for the job. See not much work, just need to prompt me. Thanks.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. LOL - then you certainly don't want me. Bob and I have a running joke ... if I develop Alzheimers, how will he know? I have become so forgetful that when I head out to the mailbox to mail some letters, he'll ask me if I put stamps on them. (Didn't twice now.) He worries about me driving, but I told him I have no problems remember which is brake and which is accelerator. LOL DeeTee > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Anyone up for the job.

But DeeTee, you might think about getting one of those chips put in so that when you get lost, Bob will be able to find you...Gee sometimes I think I can get lost driving in a parking lot...

See not much work, just need to prompt me. >>>> Thanks. LOL - only if I have a map...or if I have been there before. That part is still functioning. Actually it's the little things I forget...put a stamp on the card, turn the oven on to heat before you need it hot, mail the cards you put in the car to mail, things like that. Most of the big things I still remember and better than he does. But I was always so sharp at all memory before that it seems a little more prominent now. At least I have those day box thingys to know if I took the meds for the morning or evening or not. THAT could get really scary and IS one of the things I have trouble remembering. The box helps me. If it's empty I took them. I fill it every Saturday without fail so that's my starting point each week.

I remember a fellow worker that I bought some Christmas cards from. She told me that she put them in front of the door so she wouldn't forget them. She said she stepped over them two days in a row and then finally remembered to take them the third day. LOL So event the best helps go astray.

DeeTee, I do two weeks at the time. If I didn't I would never know if I took my medicine or not. I just blame mine on getting old! Gwen > LOL - only if I have a map...or if I have been there before.

I told Jim they are probably putting tracking devices in these capsules to keep track of us. So when you told DeeTee what you did I had to laugh because that would work. LOL ;-) SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > But DeeTee, you might think about getting one of those chips put in so > that when you get lost, Bob will be able to find you...Gee sometimes I > think I can get lost driving in a parking lot... > Cindy DeeTee, don't feel bad, at times I forget to write or sign the cards, I have forgotten stamps on things, I forgot to sign my checks and they still passed them threw. ;-) I would forget my name if Jim wasn't with me to remind me who I am. ;-) When they ask me at the drs how old I am I have to look at Jim for him to tell them, I have no clue how old I am, I can never remember it. Also when they ask for the phone number. Dah, I don't call myself so why would I remember my own phone number. ;-) SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > LOL - then you certainly don't want me.

Ah the Fibro Fog or whatever you want to call it... And the time I left work and drove with a letter in my hand so that I would not drive past the Post Office and forget to mail it...I had to turn around and go back anyways...LOL Cindy > DeeTee, don't feel bad, at times I forget to write or sign the cards, I > have forgotten stamps on things, I forgot to sign my checks and they still [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> DeeTee I have had a few times when I take a letter out to the mailbox when I get the newspaper in the morning. I put the letter in, put up the flag, and go back in the house without the newspaper! I call it a Senior Moment.

Jo At the time in the morning when I go out to get the paper (being an early riser), the only ones up are my neighbor and a few birds! Neither one of which is awake enough to count the number of trips I make. So, I guess the second one doesn't count? LOL Actually, my mom goes out and gets the paper during the warm months and walks up and down the street, counting her progress by the number of mailboxes and/or driveways she goes past! Then in the afternoon, I go out and get the mail when it comes (using afternoon loosely, it has arrived anywhere between 1 and 6 PM!). Then in the winter we switch. I nip out and get the paper and she goes for her walk and gets the mail. Her walker has a seat on it and a removeable basket. By the way, she is 90 years old.

It was the annual garage sale and because one of the friends was having a birthday we gave her a large bag of scraps that we had bought at the sale. So she is opening them and I am going.... I have that fabric, that was in the baby quilt I made, that was in the wallhanging, love that material - bought a yard of it for $6.00 a yard at Sewer's Dream 2 years ago etc. My best friend then turned to me and said "how come you can't remember your new phone number or your cell number that you have had for 2 years but you can remember every piece of fabric in your stash - amazing." guess I don't have alzheimer's after all. As to how old I am Jo - well I would have to look at Jim too!
