OT:Masonic rest home
Quentin Grady
It is no longer considered safe for me to be home so I have moved to
the Masonic rest home permanently. The standard of care is very good.
I have a new Acer twin core windows 7 laptop. It is very fast but I am
having difficulty using it. I don't have Forte Agent set up for me so
don't expect replies unless you email me. I have to use an on screen
key board with predictive text as my fingers don't close properly. I
have peripheral neuropathy thanks to t2 diabetes and multiple myeloma.
I look forward to emails from ASD members.

What she said.
So good to hear from you, via predictive text or however!
Tell 'em at the Masonic rest home that if they don't treat you right
there's a gang scattered around the world that'll want to know the
reason why! ;-)

If you're interested in using any excess speed of that computer to
help cancer research, here's one of the more trouble-free ways
to do that:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
Click on any of the pictures under the main picture to see more on
one of the projects they are now offering access to. Two are for
cancer research help.
For those of you who prefer to offer at least a little help to diabetes
research instead, their protein folding addresses a step often too
early in medical research to be addressed to a specific medical
problem yet; expect it to eventually help diabetes research, among
other types. I've been looking for similar projects more aimed at
diabetes; the only one I've found has been almost inactive for months.
I have found a similar project that might be persuaded to add diabetes
research to their current list of medical research types; they're running
short of money to continue, and offering to add a new research type
if an individual or team donates them sufficient money to keep paying
one of their researchers for the next year. I'm planning to form such
a team IF I can find someone to create the website for joining the team.
Those of you who want to help them other than with such a donation
need to buy and install an extremely high-end Nvidia or ATI card
(GTX200 series, but only higher than the GTX260, for Nvidia, and
HD5800 series for ATI), and also prepare to make regular full backups
of your computer's hard drives. Joining the team and making a donation
does not require this, though.
Note - while helping them and some similar projects with my
computers, I've found that if you leave computers running all night
in your bedroom, expect occasional (or even frequent) problems
with the bedroom getting too hot to allow you to sleep well.
Also note that I'm not fully back in alt.support.diabetes - I still
have months worth of accumulated messages to read.

Thanks Mack,
It is the one built in to Windows as an accessibility option.
I'll do my best to keep up.

The thought scares me witless. I have so many complications already.
Thanks but no thanks Robert.

Not chemo Kate. Radiation to tidy up the surgery on my skull.
It seems to have been a success.

Hi Priscilla,
LOL. Thankfully they provide the best care around. It is tough being
the youngest at my table for lunch. Several of the others are almost
blind.

i don't know how i got that mixed up, i know you said radiation therapy
either way, i'm very glad it was successful AND that you now have the
care you need, and this will allow you QUALITY time with your family
while you still receive the care you deserve
we love you!

a couple we know............ she went into a home at 42 due to
Alzheimers (sp?)
horribly young to be stricken, severely, with that disease
years have gone by, and she passed away, but after many years of not
knowing who she was, where she was, who her children and partner and
family were.......... much less being able to feed herself or ......
well, she's like an infant essentially
i'm glad you have your faculties about you, Quentin....... that makes
living in that environment harder on you as you are far more competent
intellectually than your 'roommates'
thank goodness you have the new computer and such
i realize that moving to the lodge has been terribly expensive for you,
what with the connection fees, the additional monthly costs, etc of say,
phone, internet, computer, programs, etc
we are all 'here' for you Quentin, and we care about you

completed or is this more long term for you.
I am glad your surgery was successful.
How long will the radiation treatment be needed. I remember I had to go
five days a week, for seven weeks.
