1. I am shocked, shocked.

2. What could possibly go wrong.

3. Ooops.

I thought it maybe it was digestive, not cognitive. But clearly I was losing control of very basic functions for probably three years now.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

I've also had trouble with bowel control over the last several years. More than once, I had to stop on the way home and leave a little package in a trash can on the New Haven Green. I would hide behind the church and then dispose of my underwear to cover my tracks.

Or I would have extreme urgency and would not make it up the stairs and into my bathroom in time to avoid soiling my clothes. So I knew something was wrong, I just didn't know what.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

Please share and follow if you know someone in a similar condition or have the same condition yourself. I'm sure there's a community out there already, but I have not found it. Yet.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

Hard times. I have early onset Alzheimer's. I've probably had it for at least a year. I missed many rent payments over the last two years and was evicted. I'm currently living in a homeless shelter and trying to find an institution where I can be housed for the rest of my life.

I have decided to share about it here because I would like some kind of narrative to survive of what happened to me. I am closer to the beginning then the end. Without a doubt.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

...have to explain why I can't remember what happened yesterday. Fortunately, people seem to take no notice of this condition. It seems they don't know what it is, and so when I tell them, sorry I can't remember but I have x, they don't know what x is. Perhaps thankfully.

@0nlyk1tt3n Only by writing about Him in snow on cars.

@Avabelly__ It's fascinating. But ugly. Sorry.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

@mark_slapinski He's trash. Or flattering trash. Or a media whore. Or all of the above.

@AuthorGFAllen Naturally?

@mikemovies Had you heard of the novel? You're not exactly the ideal audience.

@WorkElizab Pan Am.

@Avabelly__ Next time, don't be a douche.

@iqrafatma1278 Get a grip. It's hot. You want her to wear a tux?

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

@iqrafatma1278 A. Don't let it get that far. Only so many toys at once, e.g. B. He doesn't help: he cleans.

[edwardoneill @edwardoneill]

@iqrafatma1278 Paying her rent would also be appreciated. You want more tips, find a restaurant where mac and cheese is not a meal.
