Abstract

Aye! The Wall, be it what it is....

Damn the Blood Meds....

I was feeling light headed, real light headed, to were I needed to lay down....
This was after I got up at 5AM, took a shower, walked the dog, got in a fruit cup at Farmer Boy, made it to work at 720AM and at 830AM the head rush started....
I am going to Sansum Weight Loss Clinic and lost 5 lbs, which I know cause this, we have to bring the blood meds down a notch...it is always something.....
So I went to Dr. H, had the stroke ala cha cha cha (aka : keep your eyes on my thumb, over here, over there, over here....) and then had an EKG for my heart, and blood drawn....
I went home just feeling wasted. Now it is 230PM and the head rush has almost gone....

"There is a storm coming...."

Dan, with hair that Eraserhead would be proud of.

Six Months Ago In July....

.....I felt no more lethargy. And it was good. Basically I have had it with the oppressive tacks the lethargy brought me. It was then I really started to get well. I should say " Thank the Lord!" but really, I have had enough of that. There is nothing beyond what we know of now. We come into focus with a scream, our Mothers forced us into life, and wink out in about 75 years, or more, down the pike. Often in the same town we grew up in. We are meat puppets to be sure.

 

Meat Puppets.

 

Things are coming back to me slowly, but that is good enough. Where, in the first Two Years, after the Stroke I was just creeping along. That took me up untill Feb 2nd 2008. After Feb 2nd 2008 I really started going. It was July 2009 I woke up if not from a dream but I woke up to be sure, no more lethargy, which was dream come true. I thought I would have to live with the lethargy for ever and ever. But that was not the case at all.

Sherlock Holmes,Up in the Air and The Blind Side

Sherlock Holmes - not a Basil R. event, a new telling. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in the staring roles, they are first rate. I mean it was nothing more than adventure for 2 hours and 14 minutes. The blue screen was in effect and it looked wonderful. 

Up In The Air - George Clooney and Anna Kendrick, I was not sure what to think of this going in the theater, but it was well worth it. Really an amazing cast. 

The Blide Side -  Sandra Bullock it is rare when I go see a SB movie in the theater, I always wait until it is on DVD. But there was enough buzz about this one to go see it. It too, was well worth it.
