Good morning.
This post is unlike any I've ever done. However, sometimes, reality is not what you've hoped for. This is one of those cases.

I’ve never been good at remembering names of my students or other people. Over the past two or three years, not remembering other nouns has escalated.

I had an Outpatient Neuropsychological Evaluation. As a result of that, I've been diagnosed with G31.84 Mild Cognitive Impairment.

I already do many of the suggestions to slow the process. I’m adding other items to my “to do list.” Listing my background, the results of the evaluation, and suggestions for the immediate future required 9-pages of paper to print.

My goal is to do all I can to slow the increase of cognitive impairment.

The majority of my “Facebook friends” are students I was privileged to teach. I have wonderful memories of those times. I will fight to hold onto my memories of my students, my friends, and my relatives.

If you've read this far, blessings on you!

Halloween chocolate is incredibly tasty, but it couldn't be more than £3 billion, could it? Well, Halloween candy sales are a little bit more than that. Annual sweet sa...

Average sized pumpkin weighs 13 lbs (6 kg). Pumpkin weighing as much as a hippo named the world’s heaviest. Minnesota grower Travis Gienger squashes his rivals with massive 2,749-pound (1,247kg) gourd.

My MRI results conclusion.
"No acute intracranial findings."
In other words, there aren't any serious brain issues.
