Weekend Update - 6/24/16

More good news. Blood work and and all else looking good for now. I believe I have finally reached the point where I can move forward without constantly looking over my shoulder for an “illness” of some kind tripping me up. While I am not “well”, I am “well” enough to be here for the foreseeable future. Much more “extra time” for me. Granted my new normal entails many “regular” doctor/lab/test visits but with the new idea of these being normal (for me) visits and not “WTF” visits. I am a much relieved and happy man. Full speed ahead with the volunteer work and my community beautification efforts. It does feel very good to have some sense of doing something meaningful in the world. I am still adjusting to my limitations wit my customary “Oh I should not have done that” lessons. As one of my great physical therapist said over and over to me….. “Slow and steady wins the race” - which was followed by “Pain is not a sign to keep on going”. I still need to hear this on a daily basis. Once again … in closing, the reality of my financial situation continues to be what it is…. not good. I am asking all to give what you can and to remember that no amount is to small. Every little bit helps. I am living month to month, and without the support I have received I would not still be living in my home. It is still amazing (and sickening) to me how much all of my treatments are costing. A continuing big “THANK YOU” to all who have shared their experience, strength, hope, time and resources. Your time and gifts are, as always, greatly appreciated and needed. ***Please note that the 12/3/15 post in my blog is one which I encourage you to share freely.*** Please read and share my story. www.gofundme.com/j55wek
