I'm back part 2

A lot has happened since we talked last and not all of it has been positive. I will give you the Readers Digest version so as not to bore you to much. I should explain that another reason for starting the blog again is that (1) it gives me something to do with the countless hours that I spend alone and (2) it keeps up my typing skills. This is important because my voice is getting progressively worse as is my handwriting so if I can no longer type as well it will get very hard to communicate.

In December I went to see a Parkinson's specialist in Winnipeg. The clinic there changed my settings substantially but after five months of a living hell I had them change everything back to the pre December settings in April. It was nice to actually feel some emotion again as it seemed like everything had been put on cruise control and I was existing from day to day. I still never feel anger ( it is an emotion for me that doesn't exist anymore ) but for those five months I felt very little or nothing at all for anything. My symptoms continue to deteriorate but at least now I care, at least a little.

In May I officially finished my 15 year tenure at Hockey Canada. It was bitter sweet to attend my last Annual General Meeting but it was time. My email has gone quiet and the only phone calls I get are from bill collectors bu the silence is wonderful. It was definitely time to move on and let that part of my life fade quietly into the sunset.

Connie has been working full time but we still manage to get to the lake pretty well every weekend. It has finally warmed up so I am spending a lot of time on yard work and on my tan. Pics to come later on facebook, Ok maybe not.

Later...

I'm back...

Hi everyone or no one...

This website has told me that |I either have to use this blog or lose it so I guess I will st art using it again.

I will attempt to update a little more often than I have in the past and that is not at all so i t should be fairly easy.

Stay tuned.
