Massage

Hi folks.

I have had a sore neck and shoulders for about six weeks now. I have been getting regular relaxation massages and finally today the therapist managed to get everything relaxed in my arms, neck and shoulders. This is the best I have felt in almost months. Here is hoping it lasts.

My meds have been fairly effective today. My speech comes and goes but that cant be helped anymore, at least until I see the specialists is Winnipeg at the end of this month.

I am off to Toronto for a couple of days to the Hockey Canada semi-annual meeting. That is if I can get to the airport tomorrow and the flight leaves. With the way the weather has been this week, one can take nothing for granted. I am home on Saturday night, so I will talk to you then if not sooner.

Sleep...

Hi folks.

Didn't sleep much again last night. I hate to sound like a stuck record but a good nights sleep would do me a lot of good. It makes the day go quite a bit better and the meds tend to work better to.

Got some sleeping pills today so maybe it is time to pop more pills. I don't like taking the extra pills unless I have to but I think it is time.

Its Monday..

Hi folks..

Well, it's Monday.

Yup, it's Monday and I don't have a lot to say other than that it has been a pretty good day. I have felt pretty good and did some painting in the front foyer. I didn't sleep very good last night and only got about 6 hours of sleep. That is probably lots for most of you but not enough for me. Oh well, such is life.

Meds have been fairly effective today but my balance is still very poor. I hope you don't mind seeing me walking with a cane because it happens more often than not.

My implants have been set at 4 milli-amps on the left side and 3.8 milli-amps on the right side. My voice is controlled by the right side and the setting needs to get down to under 2.8 milli-amps before my speech improves. You can see where the challenge lies.

Riders Win..!!

Sunday is football day for me as I watch pretty well non-stop from Noon till 10 PM. With the Riders winning today, I have been guaranteed at least one more week of CFL and NFL. Connie works most Sundays so it is a good fit to watch football all day.

I have felt so - so for the most part today. Not good..not bad. Really tired which is unusual because I have been sleeping better lately. The meds still come and go depending on whatever determines if they work or not. i am looking forward to my appointment in Winnipeg at the end of the month, as much for getting a second opinion as anything else.

At least I have not been as depressed as before, which is a very good thing.

That all for now.

November 13

Not a bad day. Went to JayCees for breakfast like I do most Saturday mornings. Then off to Swift for paint for the front foyer.

Never got around to painting because I cooked dinner, just crepes, for Connie and her sisters. Her sister Florence is out from Kamloops to visit so I thought that because Connie is working the night shift, I would cook dinner.

Watched the Leafs lose, which was made all the sweeter by the Habs winning.

Felt pretty good today for the most part. Walking without a cane is becoming more of a challenge because my balance is getting worse.

That is it for today.

Daily Posts

Hi folks.

I am going to start to do a daily post, even if all I put in is what I have done that day, how I am feeling etc.

This of course will require that I remember to post everyday, which likely wont happen but at least I can say I tried.

Later.
