Morning all
My names Sean and i am 58, married with 3 boys, 4 grandkids, of which one lives with us on a Special guardian order, 1 dog Luna plus a few rescue cats which includes a young stray mum and her 5 kittens
I trap and release animals but mainly cats , foxes, hedgehogs and birds
I had meningitis in 2019 which did me some damage but mostly it was my memory
I lost my job of 20 years and got another job with royal mail but my memory got worse and they medically retired me 3 years ago
I spend a lot of time in my garden enjoying the birds and me pets
2 years of whinging and shouting to me docs and i got a scan and it showed Frontotemporal dementia due to the meningitis brain damage
Having a lumbar puncture in a few weeks and will go from there. I thought i was going mad so it was almost a relief to be diagnosed with something
Just taking it all in at the moment. Sad, scared, fine, scared, upset, fine
i am sure people know what i mean.
I stopped socialising as my short term memory is pretty bad and i felt embarrassed forgetting what i was talking about
No better place to be than with others who can give advice.
Thanks
Sean
