    Anosognosia

    What the heck is that? Check out the article below. It is interesting. The one item that jumped out at me is the percentage of people who live to be over 65! Several of you reading this are one of the few fortunate people! Read on for the details.

    The population of Earth is around 7.8 Billion.

    For most people, it is a significant figure. However, if you condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons and then into various percentage statistics, the resulting analysis is easier to comprehend.

    Out of 100:

    11 are in Europe
    5 are in North America
    9 are in South America
    15 are in Africa
    60 are in Asia

    49 live in the countryside
    51 live in cities

    75 have mobile phones
    25 don't.

    30 have internet access
    70 don't have the availability to go online

    7 received university education
    93 didn't attend college.
    83 can read
    17 are illiterate.

    33 are Christian
    22 are Muslim
    14 are Hindi
    7 are Buddhist
    12 are other religions
    12 have no religious beliefs.

    26 live less than 14 years
    66 died between 15 - 64 years of age
    8 are over 65 years old.

    If you have your own home, eat full meals & drink clean water, have a mobile phone, can surf the internet, and have gone to college,
    you're in the minuscule privileged lot. (in the less than 7% category)

    Among 100 persons in the world, only 8 live or exceed the age of 65! If you are over 65 years old, be content & grateful. Cherish life, grasp the moment. If you did not leave this world before the age of 64, you're already blessed. Take good care of your own health. Cherish every remaining moment.

    If you think you are suffering memory loss.......

    In the following analysis, the French Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Piti?-Salp?tri?re - Paris Hospitals, addresses the subject in a somewhat reassuring way:

    "If anyone is aware of their memory problems, they do not have Alzheimer's."

    1. forget the names of families.
    2. Don't remember where I put some things.
    It often happens in people 60 years and older who complain that they lack memory. "The information is always in the brain; it's the "processor" that's lacking."

    This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness. Half of the people 60 and older have some symptoms due to age rather than disease. The most common cases are:
    - forgetting the name of a person,
    - going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there,
    - a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
    - a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys...
    After 60 years, most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years...

    Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statements:
    1."Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem with memory."
    2. "Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware of what is happening."
    Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights.

    Now for a little neurological test:

    Only use your eyes!

    1- Find the C in the table below!

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    2- If you found the C, find the 6 in the table below.

    99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    69999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

    3- Now, find the N in the table below. Attention, it's a little more challenging!

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    If you pass these three tests without problem:
    - you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
    - your brain is in perfect shape!
    - you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.

    I live with a walking court transcriptionist incarnate.

    Trust me. If I'm getting my butt chewed. She'll remember a Tuesday, the hour of day, location and it'll be 7 years ago. I can't forget nothing. Even though I don't remember it.

    Funny how that works.

    Many of us get married so that we no longer need a memory.

    What makes it worse is that she not only recalls the exact sin I committed, but she conjures up all the emotional experience she had from that sin and brings it into the present.

    According to most of my married friends, you don't have a "medical condition". You have a ..wife.
