Changling

I cannot believe my last entry was Monday! Not that work has been, that busy but I have been somewhat focused this week, with a information fair I did last night, the medical appointment the first of the week, and my AT Council meeting on Wednesday and the new FOX shows I have just not done my writing. I doubt today’s entry will be an award winner either but I thought I had better check in. I have to get ready, soon, for an appointment I have this morning to have my power chair looked at. So I am busy. Like who is not right? MY health seems to be fairly good. I am not about week into the meds from last weeks appointment—though I have not heard back from Monday’s blood draw. I really need to get on some form of prostate shrink medicine. I have run out of the stuff Dianne had made for me. But the other issues seem to have cleared up and Dianne is totally excited as my body and system rebounds to better health. I still have some skin irritations I must keep an eye on but by enlarge I am back in the game,

I do not know if a new behavior I am having has anything to do with the medications I have been taking but I have noticed my behavior at the meeting and functions this last week have been remarkably different. I seem to be more friendly, out going and interested in the other participants! Was I more like this at one time? I really don’t remember but I think I may have---very strange. I have not been like this self for a long long time. I felt like a used car sales guy. For instance, I am chair for the AT Council, it seems I have been chair for ever—but I started the meeting off by telling some stories reflecting on some of the history of the organization—I never do that, that I can remember. Following the meeting and at the Open house I attended last night I actually went round and shook hands and introduced myself to strangers , again behavior I have not exhibited for a great while. Usually, I just shrink back respond only when spoken to and try to exit just as soon a humanly possible. The only change I can think of is the antibiotics. Dianne says the antibiotics are cleaning out my system and as the poisons are purged and I began to feel better I am bringing my old self back! This is a great story and I do not know if I believe the poison entirely but I sure want to and somehow makes sense. Maybe I should the rest of the regimen the Doc scripted for me—I have been dreading that one—but maybe its time as soon as I get this enlarged prostate under control.

FTOG (Frank the Old Guy ) at work is still riding me to get back to some serious writing. Its somewhat annoying but appreciated. I’ll have to start seriously contemplating the idea of serious writing.
