Update: Alprazolam, Prednisone, and a Mild Stroke

Entry 24:Wednesday
Time for an update, to say the least since I haven’t posted for about two months. Lot’s has happened since my last post but I’ll try to capsulize on it. First, for my health update, I had a good run of no serious bouts after having been on the prednisone for two [...]

Update

Entry Twenty Two: Sunday
My update for this past week has been slow coming because one of my nephews passed away. R.I.P. Damien. He was a very special young man which was also evident by the number of young adults that were present for his memorial as well as representatives from the staff at his [...]

Feeling Better And Booking Sy Smith

Entry Twenty One: Sunday
Here’s a quick post with a cute widget I found where I can list bookings for Sy Smith dates. You can grab this widget and post it if you are a Sy Smith fan. If you’re a performer you can get your own widget for posting your performances and calendar. [...]

A Quantum Principle, Infinity, Now Get A Bible!

"She’s A Little Strange You Know…"

Entry Thirteen: Friday Had to post this. At times over the course of my life, I’ve been told by well meaning friends and relatives, that my illness is all in my mind, I’m stressing over nothing, I’m strange because I stay to myself, I use sickness as an excuse to stay home… and these [...]

You Go How Many Times A Day?

Entry Twelve: Thursday Only missed a day this time… not bad. Wednesday started out with the usual scrambled egg. My appetite doesn’t seem to be picking up @ all. I haven’t felt like myself in so long, I’m not sure what “I” feel like. I’m taking my medications and I’m still [...]
