Well, I am back in the office full-time. I get my second Covid shot tomorrow; then I am off for stay-cation for a little over a week. I am taking transit to work for most of the trip, so now I have time to write or read. The commute hasn't been too bad though it's … Continue reading Back at it

Everything changed, when…
I started Dantrium capsules on May 13, 2017, and my walking has never been the same; my trot vastly improved. The difference was like night and day. Before the pills, I never knew what it was like to experience relaxed leg muscles – the spasticity was gone. For the first time in my fifty-year life … Continue reading Everything changed, when…
My rock bottom
I reached my bottom after Christmas with my weight. I am ashamed to admit that I hit my heaviest weight. I couldn’t see my feet while standing up, my belly was fifty (50) inches in diameter, and I couldn’t walk far without getting winded to the point where it took me almost thirty minutes to … Continue reading My rock bottom
I am writing again
I wrote this evening. My writing was something I haven’t genuinely done for a long time. Well, at least novel writing anyway. It wasn’t that I had writer’s block, no it was more insidious. The Covid situation wore my enthusiasm; I had lost any interest in things I previously enjoyed. Quite honestly, I was depressed. … Continue reading I am writing again
Progress
I am well on my way. I started right after Christmas. I didn’t plan to begin a weight loss journey; it just happened. I am on a lot of medications. One for my Cerebral Palsy and two for Discoid Lupus; one helps me walk better, and the other two keep my skin from breaking out … Continue reading Progress
Aging With Cerebral Palsy
I fell down the other day while going into the guest bedroom where I keep my clothes (Because, why not?). Before then, I haven’t fallen for quite some time. I used to fall a lot. Sometimes I would fall when I drank one too many. It was like my mind and my legs detached, and … Continue reading Aging With Cerebral Palsy
Bring on the nightmares
I watched the final episode of “It’s a Sin.” I guess I will probably be having bad dreams again tonight. That’s been a thing – too many memories. I witnessed the story the author was presenting first hand. I watched my brother wither away to skin and bone before he passed away. I wasn’t there … Continue reading Bring on the nightmares
Going along for the ride
Life is doing its thing. It’s moving ever forward, though every day seems the same. I don’t feel like I am in a rut, but life sure is. Except for the odd run to the drug store and going into work some days, I don’t do much. Everything I am doing is home bound. I … Continue reading Going along for the ride
I am turning back the clock
I have been doing this health kick since Christmas break. I never planned it; it took a life of its own. I had gained a lot of weight a few months before. I hate to admit this, but I let myself get out of control. As I gain weight, I cannot move well, and thus … Continue reading I am turning back the clock
A new page.
I was at my heaviest again after Christmas 240lbs. I am only 5’4”. Actually, I am under that 5’3.5” now that I am older. I was feeling every pound of the weight. My hips and knees ached daily. I was out of breath just moving a little bit. I have osteoarthritis and asthma, so those … Continue reading A new page.
