Living with Dementia

Well, many of you that read this article will probably not agree with what you about to read, but the truth sometimes hurts and it has to be confronted. My experience comes from looking after my grandmother who lived to the grand age of ninety-six. The last years of my grandmother’s life was spent in a residential home for people with dementia. Dementia is a chronic and progressive disorder of the brain to function normally and involves symptoms such as visual impairment, memory loss, thinking, problem solving, and language abilities and varies to each individual depending on environmental conditions that may have contributed to the onset of the disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease or a sequence of strokes.  

Now, looking back my grandmother spent around fifteen years possible more doubly incontinent which means she had to wear a nappy for her bladder and bowel functions the same as a baby. At the same time my grandmother never recognized me when I visited her, which I did on a regular basis. Throughout this time period she was often spoon feed again much like a baby. I also noticed many of the other residents (perhaps we should call them patients as we do if they are in a hospital) having to be spoon feed and no doubt were probably doubly incontinent as well.

On my many visits to the residential home I got to know some of the other residents (patients), inasmuch as how they were glad to see other people visiting because I was told by the care staff that some of the residents never saw any relatives, perhaps this was because they had out lived them or had living relatives that didn’t care I don’t know, but from my experience it’s not easy to see the possible future and it wasn’t easy for me.

All this happened in a period of twenty-five to ten years ago before the UK government took dementia as a serious growing problem and invested money into research and preventative medication. I knew back then that dementia was a worldwide problem and wondered why governments hadn’t taken it seriously from what I had read on the Internet and why there was no medication available to lessen the effects of dementia for my grandmother.

From my experience the care staff dealing with dementia residents (patients) need to be better trained, paid, and need to be able to cope with residents (patients) that can be overly demonstrative and difficult to deal with on par with mentally ill patients.  We all have a habit of wanting to turn away from things that upset our cosy little world, especially, when we see the possible future for many of us and I know I did, but I was given the responsibility that I couldn’t ignore and I didn’t enjoy even though my grandmother had treated me without any real love for me as she acted as my mother and brought me up from the age of twelve and a half.

Perhaps, God in all wisdom wanted to see how I would react and cope as just another test for me, I don’t know, but seeing a possible future many of us will experience doesn’t make sense to me?

You, Me and Bipolar

It’s been about 10 years since I was first diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and before that, from about the age of 16 years old I have suffered from depression. In fact, I believe my many visits to doctors from the age of 16 years old I never got the correct diagnosis; it was always ‘you have depression’ and I was given some medication (antidepressants without mood stabilizers, which was completely wrong)  and that was about it.

Yes, you could say things have changed since then, but have they? Most doctors that I have seen over the years have very little experience or empathy for people suffering from depression or Bipolar disorder; in my opinion. In fact, I wonder how doctors are trained these days because some seem to lack common sense when it comes to being able to assess a patient’s needs. A few years ago, my grandmother was in a residential home for the elderly supposedly being looked after by the care staff, yet, it took three different doctors and three months to diagnose my grandmother had a fractured femur In that time the doctors and care staff could not recognize why my grandmother would grimace when she was made to move (an obvious sign she was in pain) from her chair and before this fracture, she was a woman who was very actively walking around the residential home. Now, do you see what I mean, either the doctors don’t care for patients who are elderly or they just lack common sense; in my opinion, they (doctors, and care staff) lack common sense because someone who is normally active and then becomes reluctant to move and shows signs of in pain when they try to move them should have been enough for any sensible person to figure out. And, all this happened in North Devon, England and the culprits (doctors) were from (Northam Surgery, Bay View Road, Northam, Bideford, North Devon EX39 1AZ, UK). So, do you see what I mean?

In fact, most people have a simple view of depression they equate it with their experience of day-to-day living when sometimes they may feel depressed about something, but manic depression now called Bipolar disorder is a completely different ‘kettle of fish’ that has nothing to do with normal depression which most normal people will have from time to time.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to Bipolar disorder some believe that it is a product of environmental (childhood abuse or similar stresses occurring through the patient’s life) factors or some form of genetic factors (chemical imbalance in the brain) playing a part. In my opinion, it’s most likely to be a combination of the two factors of inherited genes (or chemical imbalance) and the patient’s childhood stresses.

In my case, I have suffered from both because in my childhood I experienced a lot of grief and I most likely inherited (from my grandfather who hung himself) and my dad who suffered from severe black depression the defective genes or chemical imbalance in the brain. I chose to write this article to highlight some of the issues regarding Bipolar disorder and how it affects me and possibly you.

My second bookIt’s Never Too Late’ is not just about how I have coped over the years with Bipolar disorder; it’s written using a series of true stories that I have experienced from childhood to the present day to help explain and help other people understand Bipolar and perhaps help them cope with this debilitating disease. I sincerely hope the book helps; because you, me, and bipolar need all the help we can get.

You will find other articles and stories that I have written concerning how Bipolar has affected me on this website and on my other website  ‘Never Late But Sorry,’ please search them out and read them and perhaps they will help you; I sincerely hope so.

Sell on Red Buy on Blue ~ Why the Oil Companies Have to Wake Up?

The recent global sell off in the oil price is actually a good thing for the environment (less cost effective oil projects don't get the go ahead) and the obvious costs benefits to the consumer are numerous in cheaper gas and fuel.

But, I think the oil companies need a seismic shift in their thinking as does the general public. It’s about time, everyone woke up and realised the age of the combustion engine is over; the new age is electric vehicles and if you don’t want your children to inherit an Earth that is fast approaching a toilet, then, you need to wise up.

The pollution of our upper atmosphere is a major problem affecting our weather systems (weird and more intense storms) for everyone on this planet whether you live in Timbuktu or downtown Los Angles, but, most people have chosen to ignore what we are breathing in; have you tried not picking your nose at night? The long term consequences of all this pollution (we are breathing in a considerable amount) is unknown, other than you need to be thinking electric, so that we can start to breath pure air again. 

We have a big chance to change to no waste technology (NWT) and we (governments and NGO’s) should be grasping the moment with both hands, because, now, is the time to move forward with their climate change plans by many factors. NWT is about using Solar Power Stations (the Sun generates more energy than we could ever use every day for the world) where we can in (deserts, hot countries etc.) and using technology such as solar, wind and wave power, electric vehicles and other innovations. Did you know that you could 'green' the deserts of the world if you wanted to by building solar power stations (SUN ~ Endless Supply and No Waste) in the deserts and power desalination plants at the coast to supply fresh water wherever you wanted.


The time has come to stop thinking about yourself and think electric cars ~ fancy that, no pollution and we can breathe again, hooray, hooray, for common sense alternatives. How green are you?

What are the Tipping Points? The Coming Environmental Apocalypse

The short answer is: We don’t know. The environmental changes and the rise of more intense weather events are now more apparent to everyone on this planet, it’s only a few vested interests which denies the problem. 

If people think the recent agreement at the COP2015 Climate Change sparks a feeling of ‘everything will be alright’ are living on a different planet. We don’t have to the middle of this century to limit a 2 degree increase in global average temperatures. Look around the world, the tipping points have probably already happened. The chain reaction of events as the temperature increases in different parts of the world has unknown consequences that are too unpredictable to be modelled to any degree of certainty. People need to get round to thinking completely differently, otherwise, we may have fewer years than you think to stabilise the planet.

When people have to walk around Beijing (Capital of China) with face masks everyday just so they can breathe tells the stark reality of ignoring climate change and just as important the pollution which has a direct effect on everyone. If you want to burn coal (we should use the resource because it’s no good underground) then, why not, as long as, you fit chimney scrubber technology (This takes out the harmful particles and absorbs the CO2 emissions from the power stations) then, this waste can be recycled and the people can then breathe again without the need for face masks. 

Just think the future is; electric vehicles (no waste technology (NWT)) and your problems are solved more or less overnight. Why do you think Volkswagen had a problem with its cars? We can’t continue to pollute the atmosphere and if you can’t breathe, then, what is the point of driving a petrol or diesel car when the future is now and that’s electric cars. Just think; if the invention of the combustion engine had never happened, perhaps, we would have had a cleaner environment and oil would have been a lightly used product to grease the blades of a turbine?

One example of ignoring climate change is the following: The floods that we were told were once in a hundred year events are now more like every other year and happening all over the world.

The choice is: We need to move to non-waste thinking; electric cars, solar power stations, solar technology, wind and wave power, and more innovation. Now, do you get the picture ~ the future is now; we can’t wait until they’ve sold every last barrel of oil, otherwise, your children are going to inherit a toilet. Just remember, if you don’t think you’re breathing in pollution, then, try not picking your nose at night! The long term effects of breathing in all this pollution is anyone’s guess.

How Robotic Are You?

Do you change your habits? What I mean is take the following scenario: Do you always do your food shopping on the same day (say a Friday evening after work) of the week? These patterns of behaviour almost become robotic and predictable and after a while determine your whole life to some extent. Inasmuch as your creative side of life is being pigeon holed and held back because you have allowed yourself to become robotic and zombie like.
Click Below and Listen

Why is this important, well, consider this: If you follow the same steps everyday then you are no more than a biological zombie and you are more than likely receptive to whatever propaganda or sublimely message that is being broadcast through the ‘gogglebox’ that you are watching (from the same seat in your home, I imagine). You are not only just another couch potato that is being turned into mash, but you are also a predictable vegetable.

I would also guess that you dream about the ‘American dream’ or would like to, so you probably do the lottery every week in the vain hope that lady luck will strike and not realising that the government sponsor these lotteries as opium for ‘the hoi polloi’ as a means of keeping people in hope.

The more predictable you become the more robotic you become and less likely to ever question what is really happening in the world around you and so be able to form a new understanding based on facts and evidence. It is then that the ‘status quo’ is revealed to be challenged and not spoon feed for you to consume. My grandfather would always say, “Don’t believe everything you read in newspapers, you have to read between the lines.” What my grandfather meant was seek out the truth don’t rely on other people’s assumptions because invariable they are wrong. And always question the propaganda that your government is selling.

Short Story ~ 'The Zombie Has Cometh'

The Bookshop Guru

Turn off the light and take a deep breath, it took thousands of years before humanity would know the secret that had been hidden for so long, but the time had come for the world to know. The word ‘Zombie’ was not just a fictional characterization in a Hollywood film or book, but a reality only ‘Iron Smart’ knew, an artificially intelligent robot sent to earth on a final mission.

“We are entering the planet’s gravity wave”

As the alien craft slowed and entered the earth’s upper atmosphere, the craft immediately began searching the terrain for a suitable landing.  The craft’s internal computer system had selected a remote part of the ‘Gobi’ desert.

“Commander, we have safely landed and deployed the shield.”

Meanwhile, Aaron was just waking up from a bad dream as the sun began to rise. It was something his friend Jim had said to him the night before at the observatory, just think he said, “If alien craft gets to us before we get to them their technology would be ‘worlds apart’ and could be deadly.”

Later that morning, Professor Aaron Mikovitz and  Jim were busy checking the overnight email alerts sent by various observatories from around the world that were busy watching the night sky for near-earth objects as part of the Global Eyes project set up by various governments, to provide an early warning system from asteroids and comets colliding with Earth.

“Take a look at this, Aaron.”
As Aaron read the message, he remembered his dream again.

“This shows it came down in the ‘Gobi’ desert, approximately 3.30 am local time. We have not had any damage or casualty reports from this area; so, it’s more than likely another one of those upper atmospheric air explosions.”

“Don’t be quick to jump to assumptions, Jim. Remember, we are scientists who follow the evidence that leads us to the truth. Whatever that may be?”

“That’s strange….”

“What’s strange? Don’t keep it to yourself, Aaron.”

As Aaron pulled up a series of reports from the computer screen; it made no sense to him or Jim. They were both puzzled at what they saw on their computer screens. 

“It entered our atmosphere but left no chemical trace, it must be a malfunction of the data recovery systems,” Jim said as he tried to check other computer data systems on his computer terminal to verify the information.

“If that asteroid disintegrated in the Gobi, it must be there,” Aaron said, as he checked and rechecked the data. “Asteroids don’t do that!”

Jim asked, perplexed at Aaron’s statement, “What don’t they do?”
