Thursday, May 29: Pain, Schuylkill River Walk

After an absolutely horrible night of not sleeping and dealing with my shoulder pain that wouldn’t land I eventually began my day. Mary was nice enough to 

go out to the café and get us breakfast and coffee so that was nice. It’s now 1:27 PM we were supposed to get together with Alice but we have not heard from Alice and it’s just as well because

 I’ve been just coping with my back. Both of us talk to Mike and Mike is going to be getting out of the hospital 
supposedly sometime tomorrow, which is Friday, May 31. I did 

get paid my pension and had to pay a big wall up of money to the credit card because of massive spending to stay 
saying with my shoulder. Still no really

 good results yet going back onsteroids heavier dose for a longer period of time until my MRI next Thursday I’m waiting for the prescription for whatever reason it’s gonna take 24 hours so it will not be ready till tomorrow

 around 11 AM according to the recording from CVS. Well after I got conscious Mary and I decided we would take a walk through the Schuylkill River Park. I also scheduled another massage 

appointment with Nick. This will be the fifth one this month at 100 bucks to pop. 

This is my life right now. So we took a walk and it was really nice. 

We went to the close to the new extension of the parkand of course there are a 

lot of pictures and videos to be made through that. Meanwhile 

my back was and shoulder were in the hurt blocker and I put up with that. The walk 

was good. We had to get back in time for my 615 appointment

 with Nick. I missed the walk with Alice cause 

she called at 2:30 and I was passed out in my chair and Mary was

 taking a nap. We had a good talk with Alice and she visited mom today. Today was also the 

for the wedding Mike and Mary are invited.Anyhow, the massage 

went as well could be expected. We really went after some areas and 

I left and got myself a smoothie and went by the yoga studio 

was very sad knowing that I can’t go to Yoga till I relieve the pain and then do 
physical therapy. It’s now 801 I decided that

 I want an Indian instead of the leftovers. I’m going go get that stuff now. The 

smoothie is good by the way. I talked to Alice and she visited 


St. Charles seminary and called me on FaceTime to show me Calvert Road where I first lived in my wee wee young age. I just picked up the Indian 
food and two more iced tea. It’s now 8:14 PM. It’s time to sit and eat and relax. It’s going to be a busy 2️⃣ days. Well, we end up watching a Clint Eastwood
 movie. Something with the title blood in it and Jeff Daniels played a creepy stalker that 

was following this detective around. It was better than I thought it would be. It’s actually very entertaining. Well it’s time to hopefully get some sleep.

Wednesday, May 28: Rain, Acupuncture, Choir

This morning I got up with a little bit of pain, of course, and I did get some sleep and I felt a drowsy feeling that I get when I have slept so that was 

good!! I then had breakfast which consists of cereal and banana. Mary is off to get her haircut and she told me to catch the 12 Bus which  showed up just as I was coming out that really saved me 

some time and time out in this gross wet, rainy weather. I showed up to the acupuncture and she took her sweet time. She only put the needles in the left side and she’s convinced it’s the first rib in pining in some sort

 of way on some nerve somewhere. That was pretty intense today. She’s very nice about it 

and she asked that I call back in a couple days. She suggested getting chiropractic

 maybe to straighten out the ribs possibly. Right after that I got contacted

 by my new doctor and he ordered an MRI. I had to schedule at 8 AM 

tomorrow because of my busy schedule. Found out even if it gets
preapproved which I’m still waiting on by the way, it’s still gonna be a $400 deductible. It’s now 1:34 PM. I’m gonna try to eat this gear and


make it on time to my 2 o’clock appointment which is coming around the corner. Anyhow, I got back to Mike’s picked up my super coffees


that were delivered a lot cooking. I thought they were and then eat my gear. It was very tasty. It’s definitely hit the so-called spot for sure. It’s 204 and I’m gonna be over 5️⃣ minutes late to my appointment again., 

Well at the appointment all I talked about is my shoulder and and it hurts all the time and all the money I’m spending on it. I told him I made a little progress with. It’s hard 
to tell cause I just don’t feel that great. Anyhow, after that, I called Mike ask him to call his Medicaid representative. I couldn’t at first but eventually got through to Mike and then went back to his place. I missed an order from Amazon they called

 but they barely speak English so I had no idea what they were talking about And they’re going to try to come back tomorrow and bring the stuff which tomorrow I’ll 

be spending most of my time hanging out with Allison stuff and doing a tour so I’m hoping they can deliver it in the morning but this could be a friggin boondoggle. 

Maybe I should just cancel the order That might be the best idea anyhow it’s now 5:15 PM and I left Mike so I’m heading to Mary’s. 


I think I’m gonna take a shower before choir practice cause I’m feeling like musty and wet. Mary is probably at Yoga right now. She’ll be home around 6 o’clock or so. I have rehearsal

 at seven 7 PM. Well, Mary and I decided to order Indian and I am showing up about 13 minutes late to help setting up the risers. I just had to eat

 something delicious and it’s still a little drizzle now. But it’s supposed to rain throughout the night so that’s what’s going on right now setting up risers. It’s quite a complex 

operation setting up the risers because you have to fit them just and make them fit on this stage. Since 7:29 PM we’re gonna be called up probably in about 15 minutes. Well, well, well it’s 7:31 PM and people are already getting up on the riser so that means I have to as well. This rehearsal will go till about 10:00 PM. We’re going to do the second half of the Matthew Shepherd piece.

 We have the instrumentalist playing along with us. Well big news just come out! A ruling from the United States Court of International Trade found Trump can't use a 1977 law to impose tariffs. I 
have a feeling that Trump will appeal it somewhere. What’s 9:30 PM we just finished our break and we established our numbers for lining up for the concert. We had rehearsal till 1030. We ended the piece and then restarted it 2/3 away through again time to go to bed. Again, I hope I can get a good nights sleep. I’ve been hoping for this for ages.
