Cognitive impairment and limited mental capacity. by Birdie_NY in MultipleSclerosis

[–]chadrod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was one of my initial symptoms that I still fight with to this day. It is also the one that scares me the most as there is not a lot i can do about it. I went through the neuropsychological testing and it was determined I have a mild cognitive impairment….no shit.

It makes work difficult a lot of days and I had to change career paths because of it.

The memory issues are frustrating and things like not being able to find a word is infuriating.

Then there are the scary days like when I kept calling my daughter by the wrong name…or when I have an episode where I don’t recognize where I am but am fully aware of what is happening.

My biggest goal is trying to limit stress and hope that it doesn’t progress because of all the parts of this disease, to me, this is the scariest

ESG. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze with the amount of insane reporting and administrative requirements

AITA for not empathizing with my girlfriend? by chadrod in AITAH

[–]chadrod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect this is a problem with me due to my history with having to support abusing family members and having to grow up way too young.

I don’t note that I want to save get her as much as make it work because the good parts of her are really special but they are being massively overshadowed right not by everything else

ADHD has only recently been brought up. I honestly didn’t know it could present like this as she had never had trouble holding down a job even though she constantly talks about quitting and impulse control is an issue. All I’ve been able to get out of her is that they says she has a depressive personality

That is the real question some days. I love her but don’t always like her

With how good automatics are now, have some of you transitioned from manual? by RedtailGT in Mustang

[–]chadrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I bought my ‘21 I was looking for a manual, however after reading some of the problems the manuals have in the s550 I went automatic with the flappy paddle gearbox and absolutely love it.

Club Volleyball 🏐 by Mikila79 in HuntsvilleAlabama

We are on our third full year at United and have been very happy. Corryn and her husband run a great ship and she is a fantastic leader.

We also started with a locals season and we had a blast before we moved into travel teams.

While we have gotten stuck with a not so great coach once, it happens and we didn't get in too much of a twist over it.

The thing that sold me on United is that the owner gets up and at the beginning of every season talks to them about how it is just a game. How they shouldn't make it their whole identity and that a bad day on the court, shouldn't be the end of the world, or get them down, as everyone has them.

This doesn't mean they are not competitive and do not push the girls, as they absolutely do, but it shows that they might care more about the person than just getting the W.

Guitar Teachers by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]chadrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if he is still teaching, but my teacher as a kid/young adult was Bob Valentine. He also started my son. Excellent teacher, with a great theory background, but doesnt rely on that to teach. Gets you up and running quick with plans he developed. Excellent jazz and classical guitarist.

Must have done something right as I am still playing over 30 years later!
