About Me
I am single with on going medical situations that I have been dealing with for a few years and have just learned in the last few months after a long time seaching that I have beginning stag of dementia. I trying to understand and learn all I can about what I am dealing with. I am a very upbeat person and realize I am dealing with a serious situation and just want to learn and know what I am facing. Looking for people that are willing to share with me information with me and I have already found out this is not a very popular situation to be in (I do also have a good sense of humor). Just looking for people that would like to chat and share some of their experiences with me so I can learn more. I know as time passes this can become a very lonely disease and I preferr to having friends other than to spend days without friendship. Appreciate any input you would care to share and appreciate any and all replys.
