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.

That's sort of scary. Sorry for the troubles. On the other hand, retirement sounds pretty nice.

Hit the beach and have a few drinks!

Sorry to hear it. Enjoy your post-IT retirement, trust me it's awesome. As a CCIE who had a great career moving through the ranks I can tell you that when you're done, you're done.

Again, just sit back and enjoy coasting through the years that many many many years of hard work will provide. Travel your ass off, see the world, and let the current set it IT professionals deal with what is always a crisis of some sort.

Sorry to hear about your problem BRC and wish all the best on your retirement.

Too bad we were not able to get together that time with Frazod and Nzoner downtown Chicago. Nzoner and I had a blast that night and I had to take a $90 cab ride to get home after getting lost on the train.

Sorry to hear the choice of retirement wasn't totally your call, but that just opens the door for all the stuff you've wanted to do and haven't had the chance/time to do it.

You're on "you" time now. Go exploit it.

The journal helps immensely.

Also, gators are not pets. (Will repeat this tomorrow)
depends on the era.

yeah, I got to see my team win a WS in person. That’s all there. But, too much of the Cardinals of late is being retained by me. Why can’t I forget those crappy teams?

Best of luck to you BRC. Not the circumstances you were hoping for but hopefully the docs can figure something out. Have fun, do what makes you happy, and know from this thread a lot of people care.

The last one, they wheeled me out to his car and I got in. He asked "What the hell happened?". I'm like, what?

He said "It's Saturday. They kept you overnight." I'm like, nahhhh.

Long story short, my heart stopped twice during the procedure. I lost oxygen to my brain.

I get home, can't remember shit. I would ask the GF 3 times in 5 minutes what she wanted for dinner.

It all came back but it was a scary time. I still forget shit. Maybe that's cuz I'm older now. But know what it feels like. God speed brother.
Yikes!

Sorry to hear this man. My mom has some auto immune issues she’s had for 40 years or so. Her cognitive abilities have declined. Some because of side effects of long term use of medication for those illnesses. Otherwise she’s just a few years older than you. Sounds like you have got good Drs and you are looking into more options. Vitamins and supplements is something some believe in. Some don’t. I started following a couple of YouTube quacks. Both are chiropractors I believe but I pick up things that will help me eat better or vitamins to try and sample with my mom.

Dr Eric Berg
https://youtube.com/@Drberg?si=5igFeCYepaSsAU8v

Dr Alan Mandell
https://youtube.com/@motivationaldoc...QtG8OPgQ7qJMj5

For example one thing I did was having her eat blueberries daily or every other day at least. And it helps. It’s not a miracle cure but finding if you’re deficient in vitamins or minerals or nutrients I think chipping away at those things is helpful. It will also give you something to do and research on different ways other than your Dr how you might be able to help you. There’s other channels on there those just happen to be the ones I find most helpful. Tons of older videos with both going back 5+ years. Have the wife watch some or find out others.

Just a resource that’s helped me bro. Hopefully you find them and/or different ones that are beneficial for you
