I found myself in a most confusing predicament about two months ago. I could not be sure what day of the week it was and could be told and forthwith forget in a few minutes or slightly longer. One of my sons took me downtown on Tuesday morning and I went into a place of business to get the owner to copy a video tape for me. I asked when he would have it copied and he replied that he would copy it at home that evening.
I then asked him I fhe was open on Saturday and he say he was and wanted to know why I asked.
I replied “I wanted to get this tape as soon as possible and tomorrow is Saturday.”
He looked at me and stated, “Mr. Kirkland, tomorrow is Wednesday.”
I came into focus and said, “Sure I’ll pick the tape up tomorrow.”
We came home and, to me, it was Wednesday afternoon.
I became somewhat alarmed at the way my mind or brain was performing. Some of the very simple things became rather confusing and I acted as if I had Alzheimer’s and began to believe my race was run and my useful like was over. I became very despondent and a problem for my wife day and night.
Up until recently, I was very alert and learned many and varying trades including a smattering of farming, a journeyman at plastering, stuccoing, cement finishing, carpentry, bricklaying and after coming to Utah from my native state, Georgia, I became a pipe organ builder, honeybee keeper, nurseryman and landscaper. For some four years or so I published, once a month, a religious leaflet of four or more pages on longleaf paper, to which I was editor and a principle contributor, and sent it to anyone who would care to have it from of charge.
This recently new development left me unable or unwilling to make the least decision for fear I would do something wrong. My experiences with Medical Doctors hasn’t been the best and I haven’t been to either a M.D. or Chiropractor in many years and didn’t want to go for this set of events.
I knew Joseph Van Setter and consulted with him and he selected a variety of herbs and I started with them religiously. One of them that I take the most of is marked MEMORY. I have been taking them for approximately a month and am getting better rapidly expecially in the last few days. My confidence is returning and my memory is flawed some but very much better.
There is one thing that is somewhat puzzling. That is, I have not lost any of my automobile driving ability and have not been lost nor in the least confused as to where I was going and how to get there and back. Now, what I was going far or after is another matter, whether walking or driving. All that is practically cleared up now and how thankful I am!
Sincerely
Steven Ekirkland
