Quick Updates: Thursday, June 17, 2010
Somehow I thought I’d have more time for writing once I dropped the responsibilities of the radio shows and all that went along with that world. Boy, was I wrong! Maybe it’s the summer season, maybe it’s taking a bit more R and R … I don’t know, but whatever it is, time just seems to be flying by.
For those interested in our recent Boston trip, there are lots of photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/116405034524500132179
I had and still do intend to write more on Boston but simply haven’t had the time to do so.
One of the things that’s been keeping me busy is that I finally got my wheelchair … and let me tell you what a difference it made. I have planned a post (with some photos) about it for this weekend. Hopefully Alberic, who took most of the photos on the Boston trip will help me take some pics of the chair and explain the difference between a well-made wheelchair and the typical chair you see at most hospitals.
Last weekend I went to the mall in Rutland …. and what a pleasure! Now I’m personally not very big on malls, and there’s between little and nothing I want to purchase from them … but it was great to be able to take Sher and let her go do some shopping … which is something she does enjoy. Earlier this evening, we went out and walked the dog together … something I haven’t done for almost a year. OK, I didn’t walk, I wheeled … but still, it was great to be able to go along.
This weekend is also Father’s Day and we still have to do a bit of celebrating for Alberic’s birthday … so it’s going to be a busy, but fun time. Al’s last day of school for the year was this past Wednesday, and next year he’ll be going to a new school.
We finally got all the light fixtures replaced in our house from last winter’s electrical disaster. Can you believe it took this long? I have to admit that this time, it was not the insurance companies fault for slacking … we (well, mostly Sher) had a really, really hard time finding replacement lights. I know that sounds crazy especially since we do a lot of shopping online, but it was very challenging to find the right things. Crazy, but we’re both happy it’s finally finished. They are installed and lighting up rooms! Life is wonderful!
I’m also beginning to do research on the possibility of using medical marijuana. It’s an incredibly complex set of rules, regulations and hoops to jump through but the rewards can be extremely helpful. Let me explain how this could work for me … or better yet, let me leave for my next post. Ohhhh … so much to write about.
It’s getting late and I have to work tomorrow morning, but over the weekend I’ll try and write a clear explanation of why I want to try taking that route, even though it’s definitely not the easiest way out of the daily pain and nausea issues I face. It’s bedtime for me …. good night Alberic.
