Just a brief update! It’s so nice to be able to answer “Fine!” or “I’m doing very well” when asked, “How are you?” I know that isn’t a phrase that people use to actually get the status of your health, but just a couple months ago, I would answer in a positive way and think, “No, I’m not.” Since the reply is mostly automatic, I don’t think I was lying. If anyone reading this actually met me and I said that, please forgive me for not being totally honest.... Read more

Might as well get the explanation of the title out there and then you can read the rest if you want. Since the central air has been installed in the church, the Operator of the Thermostat has thought that the efficiency should not go to waste. It’s been cranked up/down/whatever every week. The first week was bearable but, after that, it must’ve been suggested by some hot-blooded person it still wasn’t cool enough. The next several weeks have been almost teeth-chattering cold. Last week, I wore a thermal knit sweater. Today, I had on long johns—top & bottom—underneath my dress. I made no attempt to hide the fact I was wearing them. They are black silky material so maybe someone thought I was being stylish by wearing leggings. I took the thermal sweater along for insurance and it helped to keep me from freezing completely. After the service was well-advanced, I looked to see what the temperature was and it had gotten “up” to 71. Now, that would be pleasant had I been exercising but I was sitting in the pew or sitting on the organ bench. Not much chance of getting my blood pumping. Next week, I may wear slacks. I don’t like wearing them to church but I don’t like being cold, either. When I’m in extreme a/c for long, my nose starts dripping and I made use of the box of tissues someone had left on the seat beside me.... Read more

I ran out of time last night to blog. This morning would be when I did it. Well, guess what? I didn’t do it then, either. I’ve done almost everything else I wanted to accomplish but not that so here I am. It’s right at 7:30 P.M. EDT and I’m just now getting a round tuit.... Read more

I was having trouble getting in to my PCP’s office to get my B-12 shots twice weekly. Either no one was there who could give me the shot or they were so swamped, they couldn’t fit me in. Finally, last Friday (August 13—Friday the 13th!) I called on the back line from the hospital to the office and who answered the phone but the doc himself.... Read more

Every Sunday I think, “I’m gonna update every day” and every Saturday night I post something I’ve muddled through and slapped together. Guess there’s an upside to it, too. You don’t have as much to wade through if, in fact, you wade. If you don’t, I understand. Reading about my life isn’t very exciting. Writing about it isn’t, either.... Read more

Sounds kind of like it should be a river or something, doesn’t it? The combination of what I’m doing sees me getting better and better with each passing day. I have all but given up on the glutathione. My doctor asked me last week when I was going to get him some info about it and I told him I’d sent him a link via email. He said he’d check it out but that’s the last I’ve heard. His nurse gave me my B-12 shot Friday.... Read more

Last Saturday night, I woke up just about freezing. My waterbed heater had gone on the blink and hadn’t responded even though I’d turned it up to 100 degrees. It was getting old, I knew, soldiering on for more than 15 years. I got up and felt around in the dark for my mother’s little postage-stamp-sized comforter and put that on the bed. Snuggling down under it, I went back to sleep but when I woke the next morning, my right shoulder felt like it was in the middle of January. Something would have to be done.... Read more

Last Monday, I did talk to my PCP about glutathione. I emailed him a couple of links including this one. He reserved his comments until he could look at them. Taking a deep breath, I told him when I was in Seattle, my headaches hadn’t gotten any better and there was the troublesome tremor. I briefed him on what the doctor out there suspected—chronic carbon monoxide poisoning—and he asked what my H&H was. I didn’t remember except it was high. He told me to sign a release so he could get my records. ... Read more

It’s been another one of Those Weeks. It started out badly. My computer had been driving me nuts with a “mouse stutter” and I decided the only way to fix it was to start Windows loading again on Saturday night. I went on to bed, secure in the knowledge that it would do what it was supposed to do and it would be finished Sunday morning. Not so. ... Read more

Despair had just about set in when I was trying to find a naturopath in the state of Tennessee. I kept Google on overtime and kept at it until I found this site. The information there is going on five years old but I haven’t come across anything that says it isn’t still current. The practice of naturopathic medicine in the State of Tennessee is illegal. No wonder I couldn’t find anyone! Interestingly enough, the State of Washington has the most naturopaths of any of the states where they are allowed to practice.... Read more
