Why I Started This Website

 

 

Dear reader,

I have written a number of articles over the past few weeks on this new blog site. Thank you for coming here and reading my posts.  

I'm sure that you understand that my writing is something that I wanted to make happen, in order to see if it was something I still wanted to pursue. Fortunately, it is. I enjoy writing very much. 

I expect that my introductory comments concerning this new blog may take several articles. In effect, I'm talking about my life story of what happened to me as of  December 31, 2014 and in particular starting January 1, 2015.  Moreover, I want to tell you about a number of things that occurred the last 10 months. 

Before getting into that, I want to truly thank all those people who have been so kind to me, once they found out that I was diagnosed with a rare form of encephalitis that attacked my brain.  To be honest, with my short-term memory impairment (that is one of the main negatives of this illness), it is difficult to remember. In many ways, the first part of 2015 seems to be wiped from my mind, just like when you are erasing a hard drive. The system restore button is not quite intact on those memories. Clearly, that is a function that I will have to improve upon considerably as I am trying to learn how to do it again now. 

I have met a number of my friends who came over to visit with me and my wife. Let me tell you that on many of these occasions I was so choked up when they came that I just could not control my tears.  They were so kind to me that I still cannot believe it. Their words were so touching that I still have trouble truly believing they can say so many nice things about me. I felt so good by it! 

I really don't have the faintest idea about how many articles I expect to be writing on this topic or exactly what I will be writing. I just will let the articles in effect write themselves.  I just wanted to give you an explanation about what happened to me, who were the people looking after me, my experiences with them, talking about a number of the different professionals whose function it was to treat me to make the feel better and what the consequences are for my wife and children and myself too. 

I want to talk to you, dear reader, about my illness and what I know about it. I want to explain to you the medication I took and some of the events that took place during the first 6 weeks, and much later, after I caught on about this subject. I need to talk about moving from my old address to this new place that I found where I am living now. There is just so much to write about that it is mind-boggling to say the least. 

I can hardly be said to be a "professional" writer. I did learn quite a bit over the number of years when I was writing articles both in my personal website and then in the Windsor Square. Moreover, given the number of articles I wrote, they provided a tremendous amount of experience for me.  

I must admit that I'm going through a difficult period in my life.  There are lots of things that I feel the need to tell you. Just bear with me as I let you in on them because I'm sure that some of them may not be too pleasant. Do not worry though. As you shall read, over the past almost one year, my life is turning out much better than many others and I ever expected!

There is no particular order that I'm going to be writing new pieces or specific times that they're going to be set out. My life has changed in such an unexpected manner that I'm just going to be writing topics that are of interest to me which I hope that you will appreciate when I post them. 

Of course, I will be adding in stories dealing with other subjects that may arise during the period when writing about this earlier part of my life. 

Just keep on coming to this blog and take a look at the new story editions that I will be offering up to you. I hope you will enjoy it!
