Sorry, but this is not easy.I never thought I would be doing something like this.I am not sure it is right to do,but I decided to let you all know something.I was kind of implying "feelings" several times and wondered why I was doing it.


So I can only guess I wanted to come out and say it, so I am.





I haven’t been feeling right and saw a doctor.

The short story is I have Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. This is not “catchy.”It is not transferable to anyone with whom you had any kind of contact.I cannot pass it on to anyone.It is a degenerative neurological disorder.You can look it up to get details if you want.

It’s very,very rare ..incurable,untreatable and fatal.

Just my luck I guess.

But I can’t complain.There have been many people a lot less fortunate than I have been in life.I’m not exactly happy about this,but we all have to go sometime and I am no different.

I don’t have a lot of time left.

That is very hard to say.




There is a hospital/research center in Pittsburgh that I will check into Monday morning.They specialize in rare disease and this is one they work with. I know I can get pretty out there and lately most of you probably thought I was going farther out there, but it was a lot of fun and did take my mind off this for awhile.

Not going to write anything sappy.I just wanted to let you all know and I thank you for all the the fun we have had here. Some of you may now see how petty it is to go ballistic over a simpleton like me.







About the only thing I would add is I hope you remember me in a good way.


Don’t feel bad about anything…..any of you.


If you want to do anything at all,this place I’m going to may be a good idea..If you would want to send something the name is Catherine-Agnus Saints Hospital.



I’ll give you the address to their donation center….they go by CASH so just make the check out to that name and send to:

CASH 305 Beech Court,Aurora,Ohio 44202




I wish you all the best,


Mortimer
