In case you forgot the big guy is dying

I sent an old friend to see my specialist, he just called


We have known each other since the seventh grade. I saw him 2 weeks ago. I was talking about my FTD. He had some pointed questions. He got a funny look. I recommended my specialist. He did his mental tests and had an MRI. Yesterday he got the diagnosis. I won't be around tonight. I'm going over for support.

This is probably a good time to say what drove me to see a specialist. Two years ago I was sitting at my desk at work. I was reading off the PC screen. All of a sudden I didn't know what the letters and numbers on my screen were. It was like looking at hieroglyphics. I thought I was having a stroke. Because I worked the front desk at the Omaha Police Dept, I hit the direct button to 911. We went over my symptoms. I was having speech issues by now too. The warning signs cleared up. I was driven to emergency medical. It was determined it wasn't a stroke. Then they told me the kind of specialist I needed to see. They probably knew, but didn't tell me what they thought it was.

There had been other signs of something wrong. This was the one that made sure I went to the doctor ASAP. That is what my friend was going through. IF any of you have experienced this, see your doctor ASAP!

I have periods of these symptoms. Eventually it will become permanent. I will not be able to communicate in anyway.

Plus of course a bouncy to remind us all of how noble he is.

Something tells me that big Steve will still be around bloviating about dying for another 10 years.

It looks like GOBUCKS was right again.  Steve's foreshadowing of his imminent death from other day was too subtle, and so now he's had to start his own thread on it. ,

This is the first time the Big Guy (who is dying) has resorted to a bouncy tale to remind the DUmp that he's dying.

He reads every word at this site, so he was made aware that it's been too long since his last reminder to the DUmp.

Lots of DUmmies have completely forgotten that his brain is rotting away and aren't paying him the appropriate respect.

His tale is amazing, isn't it?

This florist's brain rot (FTD) affects only a few thousand people in the whole United States but, marabile dictu, that includes both the Big Guy (who is dying) and his buddy (who is also dying).

All in all, less likely than a cop actually jumping out of the bushes.
