Hi dolly gee,
Sorry I did not answer before, but my computer died last week and it took me till Tuesday night to put it back together and reload it. So I felt totally lost without it, as if someone close had died which is totally stupid, but apart from my family this is my life line.
We are all different and I know many people who have the illness, and can not speak, let alone use a computer like me. I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have been diagnosed in the early stages, and although I was refused treatment at first, I moved back to my parents home in the North East after they had died, and was then offered the same treatment which gave me my life back. But I work with many in our branch who were not as lucky, and at times it is very upsetting to me never mind what their families are going through.
I lost my job because I was a University Engineer with the responsibility for all the services and maintenance of a College complex which housed 300 students, and I was then classed as unsafe to manage my job. Bearing in mind that I was working at times with electricity it was hardly suprising as at the end I could not tell which cables were infact live and which were neutral. The same day this happened my daughter rang me up in my office and I did not know who it was. That was the last full days work I ever did at the age of 56.
As far as the computer is concerned I was forced to teach my self, as I always considered computers to be ailien and would rather write things out than use one of those things. Now I find it difficult to write anything at all.
Its a very strange world is'nt it. Still there are people alot worse off than me at present, and its that that keeps me going.
Best Wishes
Ken
