Okay, now waht?

I have been following a bit of info that was discovered sometime ago by a Russian scientist concerning scotch tap - it emits X-Rays!
This info was finally verified, and it took so long maybe because they didn't want another of America's great enterprises to go under the different rulings concerning radioactivity.

And yes, I just got out of the hospital for what turned out to be a day only (Morning at 7 to night at 8). The swelling is gone, no the eye sight is not back, but I didn't even expect that, but the finally swallowing problem is gone...now I have to watch how much I eat, not have it restricted because of some outside source.
So all I will say is soon.

Any one else surprised?

In Stamford the Sewer tax is a separate enity, and that means that they get to have prety much whatever they want. They warned us about the up coming increase, but 60 % is what mine came out to be and I do not like taxation without representation. Anyone else surprised? Or upset?

One More Time

This Thursday I will go into the hospital one more time at 7 AM to get a lumbar shunt put in my lower spine (lumbar, right?). This should relieve the swelling at the back of my head and allow my eye sight to return to normal. The procedure is short (1 hour) and I should be released from the hospital on the 31st (in time to enjoy tick or treaters).
Then we get to see how the recovery goes as far as eyes and balance. As far as I am concerned this is my last hurtle.
Thanks for listening.

How does it happen?

I have more time than any time in my life and my day seems filled to the brim. Okay some some of it that my mom will not leave till my vision and balance are okay and wants to be part of everything I do. That is okay, she is still worried and really can not get it quiet right, She has this perception that I am not strong and can not really walk and no matter how many times I explain it to her, she still thinks the same. Yes I am still weak, compared to what I was and get winded very easily and my lack of balance makes it look like I cannot walk. but I have not fallen yet.
In other uninteresting news, there are 2 people who are involved in the work I do at the Health Department that have been following me closely. That is Art Glowka and Josh Polar. It seems that not too many people at the Health Department appreciate Josh's strengths, maybe because he does not get involved with office politics and tries to do the best job he is able. That does ruffle feathers. But isn't that the way it is in all offices? The brown nosers get their way. So I actually am fairly out of touch with the workings down there and know less than you guys do.
Untill another time.
Pease.

The Slow Road

Yes, it is/has been a slow road.
Reality, I am still seeing double and do not have a great deal of strength.
The double vision has been improving. I walk better with double vision than with a patch. I shopped last night at commerce st Shop-rite...which is more of a feat than the Saturday morning feat because it was at the end of the day. It was tough. I am walking around my block, tho not very big. They are ending my in-house therapy tomorrow, they can't do any more for me. I will have to go to a facility for proper he[p, they say I have improved beyond what they are able to do for me.

Now for a bit of Heath Department Trivia. I listen to the Health Department Hot line messages and 2 were updated from july... the beach and shellfish hotline..the others tick, flu and west nile were not updated, so after some struggle I updated them the best I could. whooops..I am not suppose to be working!
Hopefully, I will get to this again with more trivia.
