Future Fear 😨

 


My life is great now, even fantastic! My husband and I are still traveling the world. 🌎 We are using up our Air Miles and backpacking around like teenagers. We have been on the road for five months now. We still have two more months left. My backpack will hardly zip up now. I keep leaving clothing behind. I just bought new jeans 👖, but spilled food on them. Ugh! 😩 I left my old pants in the last hotel. I need them now. Oh well. 😯

I just turned 69 years old this month. It sounds kind of old, but I still feel 21‼️🎂There is a new heaviness that hangs in the back of my mind now. I read the l daily news of drugs for Alzheimer's. I have two doctor appointments when I return home. 👍I hope I qualify for the new medicines and can start immediately. 💊

I am a fighter and will not give up!

I feel sorry for my husband and children. 🙏 They are understandably worried about my future care. I am independent and don't want to be a burden to anyone. I pride myself in my memory and thinking skills. I have multiple advanced college degrees and multiple teacher certifications. I am a teacher and a helper. I will fight to the end for my independence. I am a strong, competent person.💪 I want to see my four grandchildren graduate from college. 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

I am waiting patiently for my next two neurologist appointments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. I want to get a prescription for the new Alzheimer medications.  I want a miracle cure‼️ I control of my brain. 🤯 I don't want to fear the future😭 I am strong 👍 I am competent 👏 I am a survivor ‼️ 😅

Music Jam with Lou Rouvo Clinic

  What a unique musical event at a cool, old style Vegas club sponsored by Cleveland Clinic! The owner has ties to the Clinic and invited patients who are musical to play along on instruments and sing on stage. It was a big event for them and enjoyable to experience. Did you know every 65 seconds someone develops Alzheimer's? 😊 My CC ukulele teacher invited me and helped organize the event. I brought my instrument, but chickened out when I heard the musicians. They were amazing and I shook my mararcas song with the band. Some talented patients sang and played along with the professional jazz band.  Cleveland Clinic Music Therapist Julie Renato initiated this entertaining event. She even sang onstage with one of her patients. Many talented singers and musicians had the opportunity to perform in a nightclub stage.  The musicians and former singers enjoyed performing together. They raised their hands and had their moment of fame onstage. What a great way to perform again! W...

My Dear Grandchildren

  Dear RJ, Emma, Jimmy, Zoe, and any other future grandchildren, I am writing you a letter today from my hotel balcony in Cebu, The Philippines. I just ate a seafood lunch with Grandpa at our beach hotel. It is almost 100 degrees here and very humid. It is a stormy day with a view of the ocean from our hotel balcony. The rain is coming down, but scuba divers are still going out to look at the tropical fish. Grandpa and I went swimming here with our masks and snorkels. We saw many colorful fish and sea urchins. We are eating fresh seafood daily and walk around this tropical Filipino Island. The locals are very friendly and the children are always trying to sell us something from their baskets full of magnets, pencils, pens, and shells. I ask them if they went to school today and finished their homework before going out selling in the local restaurants. They always say YES! Public schools are free in the Philippines for grades K-12. The schools are small with a few swings and slides ...
