During my recent reckoner crash I had nada to worry about. Why didn't I realize this from the rattling beginning?
H5N1 petty rusty because of my 8 addition years of caring for Dotty? Because I forgot to job my da Vinci pad to map out the job together with the best of all solutions?
Because I forgot how to telephone vociferation upward friends together with inquire for advice?
One thing is certain. It took less than 3 hours to solve my job ane time I had the solution inwards hand. And for most of those 3 hr all I had to produce was sit down around together with facial expression for my operating organization together with software programs to download together with install from the recovery disks I guild from my reckoner manufacturer.
Here is why I dearest Google.

I job all of the next products that are gratis from Google.
Google Docs, immediately called Google Drive. All of my documents were safely stored upward inwards the cloud past times Google. I didn't lose a unmarried document. Nor should I receive got worried most losing whatever documents.
Google Chrome browser. One of my biggest fears when my difficult drive crashed was that I would lose all my bookmarks, together with most importantly, my bookmarks tool bar. I job them all twenty-four hours long to care the website. Without the bookmarks I could never range what I am doing correct now. Never. There would non live plenty time, or I would non receive got plenty energy.
When you lot job the Google Chrome browser it comes alongside a service called Sync. So hither is what happened. I reinstalled the operating organization on my novel difficult drive. Then I downloaded the Chrome browser (I truly job Chrome beta). Next, I hitting re-sync. Walla, my greatest fearfulness gone. Everything came dorsum together with works precisely the means it did earlier the reckoner crashed.
My pictures. My greatest fear was losing my pictures of Dotty. I truly couldn't stand upward that idea. I did non demand to worry. Why? Google.
All of or most of my pictures are stored inwards Picasa Web Albums. All I had to produce was hitting the bookmark for Picasa together with at that topographic point they were. I also receive got all of my spider web log photos together with images stored inwards a some other Google production -- Blogger.
Blogger some other gratis service from Google is what I job for the blog. Every thing is upward inwards the cloud. So I didn't lose anything from the blog. Click the bookmark at that topographic point it is.
I did lose the Powerpoint Presentation I gave inwards New York at Pace University dorsum inwards April. No large deal. I receive got a newspaper copy. However, it doesn't matter. If I gave the same 2 presentation ane time to a greater extent than tomorrow they would live rattling unlike than they were inwards April.
For example, did you lot know a someone living alongside Alzheimer's together with dementia never stops loving you? And, inwards fact they dearest you lot more. Well I didn't holler that inwards New York. Next fourth dimension out I will.
I receive got my edited videos all upward inwards YouTube. I receive got all the raw cloth stored inwards the cloud.
I am having a job alongside my podcasts. Cinch is going out of business, then I volition receive got to ship those to some other purpose of the cloud. That is independent of the crash.
So it appears I receive got almost every thing I demand together with wanted back. If not, I withal receive got the sometime difficult drive.
The existent number here. Why didn't whatever of the people I asked say me it was okay to receive got my drive out of my computer? Training? Money? Maybe the people I talked to inwards the Philippines didn't sympathize my questions.
After talking to the manufacturer of the reckoner on together with off for vii hours I was told they wouldn't fifty-fifty endeavour together with recover the information off the crashed difficult drive. Worse, they wouldn't ship it dorsum to me. Even worse, they wanted to conk on my reckoner 5-7 weeks. Other employees of the same society told me, yeah they would endeavour together with recover my data, together with I would larn the reckoner dorsum inwards 3-5 days ane time they had it.
None of the geeks told me they could recover the information from the difficult drive. In fact, they told me they needed my computer. Plus, none of them told me the terminal price. More or less, give us your reckoner together with nosotros volition permit you lot know. I finally works life out that it would cost $309 addition tax.
This storey does larn worse. I receive got changed difficult drives inwards together with out of computers inwards the past. Changed memory. Took out together with replaced boards. However, it was to a greater extent than than a decade since I in conclusion did it. What happened to my encephalon inwards the interim?
I don't know.

In some ways, I demand to rebuild my life. Here is the proficient news. Once I larn this accomplished I'll live a ameliorate person, a stronger person.
Let's confront it, I simply shell Alzheimer's. Bring it on.
Later today I volition explicate how this reckoner crash province of affairs relates to effective caregiving. It did.
One in conclusion thing. I was then focused on Dotty that I forgot to brand a novel excogitation for me. Oops. Oh, I receive got been doing lots of things. Like finally bespeak for volunteers together with assist alongside the blog. But, I did non receive got the fourth dimension to brand a novel psyche excogitation for my life.
No wonder I can't larn far high gear. I receive got yet to write downwardly my mission, vision, together with goals. I estimate I was non yet cook to produce so.
I am now. But first, I receive got to sentry the Philadelphia Eagles game today. Somethings never change.
Or, produce they?
