Well, another birthday has come and gone, and another month as well. So, what is new?
Not much. the last blog says what I would say here . . . the only difference is that my "feeling better" is all relative. Relative to the last blog. So, whereas last time I entered something I was feeling better, that was relative to the previous blog. Now I am referring to the February 4 blog, and, indeed, I am feeling better. I still have dry mouth, but my taster is about 80% of what I remember "normal" to be; I have more energy; I can stay awake longer; I eat a lot more; and my weight loss has stalled out. I have been to my meetings, I conducted the March 15 caucus for my precinct, and I have been to the Temple a few times. I have finally prepared the book of poems for Doug McQueen. I hope it gets finished in time; I got a letter from him yesterday which said that he is in the hospital with kidney problems and heart difficulties.
Whenever we go anywhere, like to Spencer's missionary setting apart, I sleep most of the way. It seems I sleep better in the car than in the bed.
One more point of comment: my appearance still makes people uneasy. They don't know how to react to my saggy face, and my distorted speech. But I just go ahead anyway like it is nothing. If I get too many funny looks, I will explain. However, it seems that I am getting used to what I am today.
So that is the update for this month.
Thank you for posting. I'd like to hear about the MRI and when you expect to hear the results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the written update. You are a special person. I read Dan Peterson's article in the Mormon Times and thought of you.
