BYC Café

[room onthebroom]

Good morning, Café, and thanks, Shad. Sadly the weather here looks to be as predicted. Surprise 75th birthday party at the club for a friend. No AC, and it's going to be a scorcher.

Sounds like that going to be a very brief gathering.

Air Conwhatering.

That's what we have in our house too. Invisible AC. Thank Heaven for the breeze!

Good morning, Cafe. Thanks for the coffee.
I'd like to find some of the green K-cups here. There are instructions on how to rip apart and recycle the ones with the plastic but I seriously don't see me ever doing that.

Yesterday turned out to be nothing more than discussing the trial with the doctor and signing consent forms. It took poor DH about 2 minutes each time he had to sign his name. The ability to write is one of the many things AD robs you of that most people don't realize.

We return in 2 weeks for all the testing. If he is accepted into the trial that day, I'm unsure if we are walking out the door with the medication. I suppose I'll read the full study schedule in more detail today.

And now his family is starting to interfere with him getting started on this trial. DH wants to be in it. We are planning a vacation for him for 3 weeks down in VA, WV and PA. But I need to know his schedule in the trial first. So his sister is trying to imply that "it really isn't necessary to be in the trial. It's just voluntary and it probably won't help." Oh? I guess the pharmaceutical company failed to confer with her before investing millions of dollars in this drug study. ANYTHING that might help is worthwhile.

His sister has zero say in this. I'm sorry! Its a hard enough situation without their 'help'. Maybe after the trip they will realize they need to talk directly to you more.

It then took 7 years to get a definitive diagnosis because the local neurologists are a bunch of quacks and his PCP just felt it was just normal aging absent-mindedness. I kept telling him it wasn't. Kept reminding him his father died from AD. No one listened.
By the time he got a definitive diagnosis, he was already in the early moderate stage.

It took the doctors 3yrs to diagnose my dad with severe diabetes. His identical twin brother had it for years & died from diabetes related complications. It should've been the very first thing they looked for.

This new coffee is strong. I like it. It reminds me of visiting my friend on cool, foggy Nor Cal mornings, or the year I lived in drizzly WA state. It feels way too bold for San Diego summers tho. I'll give it a few more days, but I fear I might have to go back to breakfast blend until summers over in November.

I have begun to diagnose myself and then go to the doctor to tell him what I need. It's crazy!

I honestly do the same thing. Doctors are great, but they are dealing with hundreds of patients. We are only dealing with our own. It allows us a lot more time for analyzing our symptoms & googling the Mayo Clinic & WebMD.

I feel for you!

Sacramento has 11 days of over 100 on average each year.

Not as bad as Arizona!
