LADDER GUYS
this holiday season dont become a ladder guy
whats a ladder guy

when i was in practice i had a list of people who had
fallen off ladders and had gotten injured some severely
even some were repeat offenders
we called them the ladder guys

so when they would come in to see me i would
say hey youre a ladder guy
some didnt think that was funny and others did
they got the point
they also heard from that from their wifes and family
the wifes really liked it when i told them they were on
the ladder guy list
since they wouldnt listen to them

two of the worst was a man who fell off his ladder
punctured his lung
fractured his back
broke multiple ribs
had internal injuries
spent weeks in rehab
he learned his lesson and stays off ladders

another patient the only female on the list
seems men always do the stupid things
was on a ladder hanging a picture and fell on to
her back and permanently disabled her
she had back surgery but continued to have
severe pain that required daily pain meds via
pain management

these meds masked the symptoms of cancer she had
it was not discovered until it showed up as a metastatic
lesion on the skin
she eventually survived all  of this but still has daily pain
and must take pain management meds

so men and women stay off those ladders
dont be a ladder guy and
definitely dont be stupid enough to join the list twice

i saw some of you on facebook putting up lights
the only way you could have gotten those lights up
was to be on a ladder that could put you on the
ladder guy list

be safe
dont ruin your holidays

DEGREES
the degrees of separation between you and someone else
use to be 6

now it is 4.73
thanks to facebook
and that number is expected to decrease as more social media develops

so if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone who
knows kevin bacon youve reached that degree of separation

actually i know someone who knows kevin bacon
so if you know me then you have a degree of separation of 3 with
kevin bacon

there thats better than facebook

lost lady, find em

LOST LADY
at a town near here a lady who lives in an assisted living home
got into her car and drove off and didnt come back
friends and family notified the police and
she got her car information put on those big highway signs on the
interstate

usually those are child abductions, lost children, or a lost old person

luckily she was found not too far away driving lost on a road near the
town where she lives
sometimes it doesnt work out this well

a few years ago a couple near here got into their car and just
disappeared
they were an elderly couple
they were found 500+ miles away off a cliff in the hills of arkansas
where they had missed a curve on that winding road and had
gone over the cliff
they were accidentally found by a hunter/hiker

a family had lost both parents and grandparents because they
were lost and kept on driving

on the alzheimers association  website-www.alz.org-there is a
section on dementia and driving resource center at this link
if you have a family member who is at risk read this link
you may save their lives
dont be afraid of offending them

my wife she and i have an agreement that when my time comes that
she will take my keys away from me
am sure i wont resist

dont let them be the lost lady or lost man and get their names and
car license numbers on those signs on the internet

am glad not being able to parallel park is not on the list of warning signs

FIND EM
look at this picture and find the man in the picture



if you find him within 3 seconds your right brain is more
developed than most
if it takes less than 30 seconds your right brain is
developed normally
if it takes more than 60 seconds then your right brain
is slower to react

well guess im a left brain person

googled, tebowed, zen book

GOOGLED
this blog has been googled
go to google
type  dr dewayne nash alzheimers

the story or the article from the austin american-statesman last week
was picked up by a lot of newspapers and internet news sites over
the weekend

the sites are from across the united states and from other countries
some of the newspapers did stories of local people fighting the
disease and coupled it with the article from the austin american statesman
that mary roser wrote
have gotten a lot of response and questions from those readers

have read stories and received stories of people in various stages
of this disesase
hope their stories are being told and hope people will listen

one of the goals is to touch as many people as i can to get out the
story of alzheimers and put some faces on this disease and to let
people know that early treatement and early diagnosis is important

thanks to all the new readers and to the older readers of this blog
keep the story going

TEBOWED
am not a broncos fan and never have been one
but did like to watch john elway play in his day

like to watch tebow play
is not a religious thing either
he doesnt fit the mould of the nfl quarterback
whatever that is
but know that he and his teams win though

those tv announcers just wont give in will they
they cant accept the fact that they are winning
isnt that what counts

at least his coach accepted the fact he was the quarterback
and changed the offense so its tailored to his skills
now they are winning
he cant pass
his passer rating was 90+ yesterday and was better than rivers
low number

tebowed
a new word
isnt tebowing what made america great
thinking and acting outside the box
what entrepreneurs did this and we all benefited

tebowed
maybe more of us should tebow things we do
and we would be more successful

ZEN BOOK
in response to multiple questions
the book is
zen shorts by john j muth
the short story is in this blog from jan 3 2011
its called farmers luck
and the reason why it was mentioned is in that blog
