Adult Adhd

I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, Seems I don’t have the ability to concentrate inside of me. I get distracted by the simplest of things, Hey, that was a foul! What are you looking at ref?!?!? And cannot focus on…Ha ha, look at that guy’s bling. I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, Oh, did I already say that? Hey, what’s this spot on my hand? Do you think it’s something I should get looked at? I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, The doctor suggested some unusual therapy, Said maybe I should try writing poetry, Maybe focusing on that could help fix me. Honey, why haven’t we installed the wireless mouse, yet? The wires almost knocked over my drink. Now where was I? Oh yeah, I was going to write a poem, I think. I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, I should look that up on the Internet. What time is it? Cindy, is Spencer home from school yet? I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD. How many times have I written that sentence? Oh, there’s Spencer. Hey, you want to go out and play? I’ll write my poem later today. << Two Hours Later >> I’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, Although I think they are full of crock, They say I have a problem concentrating, I say that I do not. They challenged me to write a poem, I can do it – I’ll show ‘um. Hey, somebody answer the phone. What’s this – is somebody writing a poem on this PC? Oh, was that me? Honey, what was it the Doctor said I had? Oh yeah, Adult ADHD, My wife said, “If that’s true, It’s the only thing ADULT about you.” Very funny, Honey. Now, what was I doing? Oh look, Ohio State is on TV. Maybe I’ll come back to this later – whatever it is I was doing.

LOL...Joe, I was NOT diagnosed with adult ADHD, but... LOL Enjoyed this write. I have often thought about it since hyperactivity and distractions run in the family. What a great gift when hunting and surviving...ADHD is probably responsible for the survival of the species...man. You know...distracted from munching on good ole buffalo steak and noticing the preying panther in the bush. Enjoy your diagnosis. Life is good on the active side. Big smiles and congratulations. Lovingly, Dane Ann
