Sorry for the gaps in the blog recently - things have been happening so slowly in my life that it wasn't worth repeating the same information daily. Even news in the world has been basically the same: getting more ridiculous by the day to where commentary by me would be re-iterating the obvious point(s).
But for those who may have worried, I am still here -- and here are two weeks' worth of updates (hopefully) crammed into one blog entry...
* Tuesday I am due in for an MRI on my troublesome back. Now the hip area bothers me; I cannot walk more than three blocks without dehabilitating pain, and forget the hour-long standup marathons... I spend most of my time off my feet now. Thursday I go in for what is called an EMG. I have never heard of such a procedure - and having lived with a mother who swore by Physician's Desk Reference for many years, the procedure is indeed a mystery to me.
* My cousin Mike has been more than generous with giving me rides to the various therapies and doctors I've needed to see. He has also finally found true love after 33 years, and I don't mind playing the part of the cheerleader on this one. A good relationship has to hit this generation sooner or later.
* Steve... I have no idea. Now he seems to have had a loss of memory. His overseas girl has upset him to the point that he couldn't remember her name, who he was, what his interests were, and so forth. I don't mean that officially in the past tense, as he has not truly lost who he is in a matter of 24 hours. But his behavior worries me, and frankly, I can't take much more of it. I've set a deadline of April 30th in fact to have him out of the house, and I may have a successor roommate ready to move in; one who finally cares about how a house looks & smells. I've carried that ball solo for four years and am tiring of it, back notwithstanding.
More to come...
