A short time ago I wrote a blog on "Living with Dementia" which can be read on my web site http:/gr8riches.com/gr8blog/p=63. This was about my mother's last years with dementia and how we as a family coped with the situation. Hopefully one day they may find a cure for this most unfortunate disease which affects not just the sufferer but everyone connected. It is so painful to watch a loved one disappear from your life before they even pass on. My mother died at the age of 82 so she had had a wonderful life. The first signs started a lot earlier around the time she was in her 60's. As I have now reached the same age, I started to think it would, and could happen to me too! I have had regular checkups of course ,but you do wonder. I know like everyone else we all forget things from time to time. This is normal - what is not normal though? I decided to ask my great friend Tony if he had noticed any changes in me. He said he had become a little concerned as of late as to my lack of concentration and forgetfulness. His suggestion was to do something about it and research all avenues open to me. I decided to go to my favorite ebook superstore cbdeluxe and see what I could find in the way of helping myself. I have always found this site to be a great wealth of information.
On a lazy Sunday afternoon , one of the few wet days we experience in Sydney Australia, I decided to spend it researching. I found the answer - Memory training!!!!! We all have perfect memories - just not the correct methods for recalling the information. There were many sites - training how to study for school exams etc That was not what I wanted! I wanted advanced help to ward off the signs of dementia, and train myself to memorize in spite of any approaching dementia. I have to tell you, I did everything I was required to do to help myself - it was not hard - I am also a good student! The results have been fantastic. How do I know? I was a person who made lists about everything! I have not written a list in the last couple of months and have not forgotten anything! True!!! I still hold down a full time position in a highly competitive field and so far have not forgotten one client's name. This has astounded me - never forgot a face - just could never remember the names. Can now! Public speaking has become a breeze - no need for those dam notes anymore! These are just some of the examples of how this site changed my life and made it easier in my day to day world. Nothing is going to stop dementia if it wants to attack, but I'm not going down without a FIGHT.
Do yourself a favor- check it out! This has changed my whole life - bet you have heard that line thrown around heaps! I'm serious - in my case. it's true! It has given me hope and my confidence back again. We are never too old to learn! More information on this subject can be found on my web site http:/www.gr8riches.com/fight or you can contact me at sharon@gr8riches.com By the way, Tony is very impressed with my new found confidence! Stay tuned!!
