Preventing Onset Dementia

ENCNow

  I was watching Netflix last night. During my early morning efforts to check the finance news on CNBC, I forgot how to reset my TV from Netflix to the Cable box. At first I thought my cable was down, then I finally found that I had to change the input from HDMI3 to HDMI1 input.

  I have been doing that for years with no problem, but this momentary brain fade may indicate that the slide has started down the slippery slope towards dementia. A quick analysis of the situation revealed that I only remembered the proper sequence after my first cup of coffee.

  My scientific conclusion: Coffee will reverse all signs of early dementia unless you forget where you keep the coffee.



The coffee is now sitting next to the Coffee Maker in the Kitchen. I hope I don't forget where the kitchen is. Are you beginning to see the Problem?

FOR THE RECORD, I DID NOT POST THIS ON FACEBOOK.

I am not one of those people who post every little thing on Facebook.     Beaufort County Now is another matter. I hope you have at least one laugh today.     I'm just here to help if I can.

Here us an interesting exercise.

"Make a list of all the things you forgot and try not to forget them again."

Believe it or not, I think it works since I have an empty list.

I know. Stupefied people need to at least be funny, or, at the very least, laugh at themselves.

Speaking for myself, it keeps me from cussing so much.

I always try to use humor to diffuse the potential calamity of losing one's cognitive abilities. In reality it was somewhat of a shock with this memory lapse since it involved the loss of "Working Memory" which is used to perform tasks. We all seem to have lapses in
"Short Term" memory from time to time but when it involves a skill set it can be disconcerting.

I remember that Glen Campbell who had severe Alzheimer's was able to continue to play the guitar and remember all the intricate chord and picking leads while at the same time forgetting the lyrics and often playing the same song over again a few minutes later in his last concerts.

I am not overly concerned because I know that the only thing we have to fear is .. .. .. .." Well you get my point.

I drink coffee. Sometimes it works.

If coffee supplies the estimable Bobby Tony with good sense, I shall endeavor to consume the appropriate dosage.
