I'm retiring due to health reasons. AMA

I have short term memory loss. The doctors can’t seem to find the root cause. This isn’t some forgetfulness, it’s serious. They tell me I have about 10 years before I will lose all short-term memory. I will retain all long-term memories. So that post you make about me in 2006 is still going to be up there in my noggin.

I have previously shared this diagnosis with the mods. I asked them to keep this information confined to the mod lounge. Which they did and I appreciated their consideration. They encouraged me to share this information with the rest of the Planet. It’s time to come clean.

I also have CLL (Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia). Its only put me in the hospital once and it usually does not kill people these days.

Would not be a BRC post without bragging so…. Last 10 years of my career, I architected, designed, and implemented the first cloud at Bank of America, the largest private cloud in the world for the military and for IBM, the world’s largest serverless IT infrastructure services provider with thousands of enterprise customers, thousands of applications in more than 60 countries.

You cannot do that kind of work without a functioning short-term memory, so I have no choice but to retire.

I’m 65. I’m being forced to retire a little early but only losing a couple of years anyway. I’ll have a comfortable retirement alongside my wife of 34 years.

After exhausting all Western and Eastern medicine I found answers with bio hackers and arthritis forums.
with my job or I guess now, my former job, I had to always be doing research for new ways to do things. A new wrinkle in an established procedure.

yeah, we are still in love as much as we were when we first met. As anyone on here will tell you that have met her, I married way about my weight class.

Yeah, the unknown is the worst part. But, I've had a good life. From how my life started to being able to live the life I wanted alongside the love of my life, I'd hope everyone gets to experience that feeling.

Luckily for me, my wife is petite and looks much younger than her real age.

I hate to hear this, but it's ok to shut things down, you've done plenty. It's time to enjoy yourself.

Also, can't wait to share stories once my journey is finished. #todolist

We have a Retirement thread that we started since so many of us are getting to the stage where we are either retiring or near the end of the work life.

Plus we have it there to share stories of retiring and the pitfalls to watch out for.

Look at the bright side, if you bring home some fresh poon, you have a built in excuse for never calling her back the next day and not knowing her name!

With a little luck, you can have fresh poon every day without cheating!

Silver linings, right?
