PPS Disease
 Brenda B., a childhood friend and lovely person, reminded me of the horrible devastating disease that affects men more than women.  Most men that have this disease are afflicted with it from birth.  There are many symptoms that maybe noticed early in a man’s life but cannot be detected with accuracy until middle age or later in a man’s aging process.  The older he gets the more one can detect the symptoms because they become extremely obvious to everyone around him.  It seems to cost billions of dollars every year to treat the effects on the men that are afflicted with this problem.  It seems to take its toll on the spouses of these men more than anyone else.  Women tend to need counseling to help them cope with the disease that has afflicted there husbands.  I myself have had my wife continually complaining if I don’t take the necessary steps to keep this disease in check.  I know that you men that are afflicted with it have tried your best to take your medicine and do the things that it takes to keep yourself from allowing this disease to overtake your life.  There is no cure that we know about at this point in time and there does not seem to be any cure predicted in the near future.  I know there has been research done, but it only seems to treat the symptoms and not the cure.  Some doctors say that fresh air and activities are a way of curbing the ravages of this devastation that afflicts us men.

 Let me tell you what I do to keep it in check.  I read and I write my silly little stories so that when my memory finally is taken over completely, like ravages so many of us, so that I remember how it used to be.  I love to go to the Disney Parks and walk around and look at others that are showing the same symptoms that I have.  I sit and watch Mickey Mouse cartoons for hours and maybe a couple of Donald Duck marathons just so that the Doctor can’t complain.  If you are afflicted with the Peter Pan Syndrome, I beg you, I plead with you to indulge in the strong medicine available today, and go and listen to the Disney Nerds Pod Casts. It only takes 1 hour at a time to control this disease for at least one week.  The Peter Pan Syndrome has affected me for much too long. I need to go to Walt Disney World so that I can rehabilitate myself because, you see, I don’t want to grow up.  First star to the right and straight on till morning.
