Today 10/4/15

 Yesterday I decided to create this blog. Not sure why, exactly. Just shouting into the wind, I guess.  

 As I started to write this, my William was climbing on my back as he and Donald were watching an episode of 'Shawn the Sheep' in Papa's room. They are the sunshine in my life, they help me focus and give me a purpose. Having a purpose and things to do means I'm still a productive part of my family.

 I had to stop working in the beginning of this year. I had been a 'Senior Digital Specialist' with Konica Minolta for 16 years. Liked the job, my coworkers, and my customers. The last couple of years, though, I had trouble diagnosing issues, and had to get other techs involved. The last straw was a larger machine that I saw needed a circuit board, motors, and a firmware flash. Ordered what I needed went back to fix it, couldn't figure out how to put in back together. Had to have another tech come help me get it done.

 After that I went to my superiors and shortly after left my job and went on disability.
 
 The medication that I'm on is called Aricept or Donepezil, 5mg twice a day. My wife Patty can immediately tell when I forget to take it as I get very foggy and can't complete a full thought, sometimes to the point of stuttering. I also daily take B12 by mouth and in a monthly shot and also a few other supplements.

 As and interesting aside, Patty has noticed that I get VERY hazy and in a funk when there is a full moon. I was so very hazy and couldn't sleep well  at all during the Blood Moon, up all that night. We found out that alz customers get weirder during a full moon.

 Ok it's late
Goodnight
