I had a 5:00 p.m. appointment for p.t. yesterday, the first of two this week. Physical therapists always want their patients to have a goal, and in our last session on June 14th, I had finally articulated mine: I want to be able to walk without a cane again and not fall downAt the last session we had had, Christina tested my stability in a NeuroCom ( Read more... )

Here is the curious unexpected topics meme. If you wish to participate let me know in the comments, and I will give you three topics, or spheres of interests, which I think you are not interested in, or maybe you'll surprise me with your interest and/or knowledge. Then you talk about those subjects in your journal. It's interesting to see who knows ( Read more... )

Finally got together with sjmpets yesterday. Lots of talking, lots of catching up, a tutorial on what's available on my bigass TV, courtesy of sjmpets. (Why did I never explore on my own? Lack of initiative, I guess ( Read more... )

At that point, I kind of had an excuse for being late, but then another thirteen days went by; I didn't have an excuse for every one of ( Read more... )

I fell in Paris on June 5th; I fell in Philadelphia on June 10th. Both times I fell backwards. In Paris a woman caught me; I never hit the ground. In Philadelphia I hit the ground, but the damage was not worth reporting. I skinned my right elbow and scraped my left little finger. Both were negligible, but I know I must do something about the ( Read more... )

Before I start the second part of my account of my two weeks in France, do I hear you saying, "Second part? There was a first part? How come I haven't seen it?"

I can't answer that last question, but I can take you to the first half. It's ri-ight here. Be sure to come on back when you're done.

It's been nearly a month since I last posted: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa ( Read more... )

I missed you back on June 19th, at which point I listed most of the hurdles between me and a post to LJ: a problem with my eye - I'll find out tomorrow if that's been resolved - a fatal computer crash; a day in NYC that left me half-crippled and exhausted; and a lovely day at the races....Get yourself a cup of tea and a couple of lemon cookies, ( Read more... )
