I think I need to give an explanation for my absence. Been a while since I’ve writen. A friend wrote, saying,” I remember you were supposed to take it slow for a couple weeks while you adjusted to the DBS and got it adjusted to your North Dakotan body. “
I’ll use his note as a spring board for this posting.
How is that (post Deep Brain stimulation surgery) going?
The dyskinesia left immediately and the low times between taking medicine have leveled out. I’ve cut in half the Mirapax I’ve been taking. The not so good news is my balance is worse. Stuttering is more profuse. Mind is dulling. These negatives could be a natural progression of PD rather then a results of t he surgery.
And how are you doing with the pain management? I’ve seen the pain management doc twice – two shots in the hip. Hip replacement surgery is next.
Any more information on your back damage? No. that is , hopefully, the last issue with which to deal.
How are you doing? As I keep my focus on God and what I think He is doing through all this, I’m doing well. If my sight shifts to what may happen, unless there is a miracle, it is easy to slip into a “what the heck. What’s the use?” And spend the time in front of the TV or reading. Self pity then rears its ugly head. This doesn’t happen very much. It is ugly.
What are you doing? Landscaping and visiting a plethora of doctors.
(Michael how did you like that ‘p’ word?) Take one or two naps a day. Night sleeping is still a challenge.
Who are you doing it with? With Theresa or by my self. I don’t drive so T has to drive me.
Where are you doing it? Now Gary
Any new spiritual insights? That will come in the next posting.
Hopefully it won’t take as long in coming as his one has.
BLESSINGSHOPE
JOY
